"I am telling you I am cold," Baba insisted. "It's very cold tonight!" and he repeated this several times.
Bhau argued, "Baba, it is hot. Ask anyone. I am feeling so hot and uncomfortable." Baba kept insisting how cold it was.
Finally, Baba got fed up and asked Bhau, "What do you take me to be?"
Bhau replied, "You are God."
"You take me to be God, and yet you do not believe what I say! If I am God, I am the Truth! The Truth can never speak a lie. Truth always speaks the truth.
"If you have this conviction, then you will feel cold, because I say it is cold! I always speak the truth."
And Bhau realized that he had been wrong to argue.
As previously mentioned, the Poona workers would come on Sundays to be with Baba. One day, when Pratap Ahir arrived, Baba commented to the mandali, "Pratap, how young he was when he came to me at Mahabaleshwar [1950]. He was only a boy then. Now he has grown up and loves me very much."
Baba turned to him and asked, "Do you remember I asked you to undress? I asked you to stand naked before me."
Pratap said, "Yes, Baba, I remember."
Baba remarked, "How fortunate you are that I glanced at your naked body."
Baba's nephews Sohrab and Rustom were present, and Baba motioned to them to take out the marbles from their pockets. Baba started playing marbles with them. He remembered that Pratap had played marbles with him in Meherabad, and he too was asked to join the game. Baba placed a marble on the floor and asked Pratap to hit it with another from some distance. Since Pratap had a very good aim, he struck it. Baba put down another marble and gestured to Pratap to hit it. Again he did so. A third time also he was right on target. Baba then kept the marble far away and told Pratap to try now. He held up a box of chocolates and remarked, "If you hit it, I will give you this box of chocolates."
Baba gave him one from the box which Pratap put in his pocket. Pratap tried, but missed the marble. Baba gave him two more chances, but he failed to hit it each time. When Pratap missed for the third time, Baba not only did not give him the box of chocolates, he asked him to return the one he had already given him!
