Saint Tulsidas left his home when young and did a lot of penance. Once, after many years, he came back to his native village. An old woman saw him and called out "Tulasia," his pet name in his boyhood days. Tulsidas felt insulted at not being called in a respectful manner, and so he left his village. He did this because he was still addicted to some aspects of illusion.
I used to be insulted in the early days, but I remained unaffected because I am God and above the addiction of illusion. When I break my silence, all will know who I am!
Once again, referring to the 101 names in praise of God in the Avesta , Baba stated:
These names were supposed to have been given by Zoroaster. They are the attributes of God in the Beyond state, and not of the Beyond, Beyond state. These names are of my attributes. God has infinite attributes, but only 101 have been mentioned in the book.
Baba then switched to the subject of masts and narrated several amusing incidents which occurred during his extensive tours in search of them. He said:
I love masts very much, and so I bore all the difficulties and hardships in order to meet them. I contacted them wherever they were stationed, traveling third class by train, by buses, by cars, by bullock carts, by tongas and often walking in unbearable heat, cold and rain. Once, the heat in Allahabad was so intense that Savak Kotwal asked me to relieve him of his duties and let him go back home. Savak has been with me for years, yet he could not bear the strain of those mast tours. As soon as I was informed of a mast, I would immediately start the journey, whether it was day or night, whether transport was available or not. Once I contacted the masts, I was very happy and would do anything they asked me to do. They often gave me dirty food which I would eat, and presents which are still well preserved in Meherabad.
