Without consulting anyone, Khushrow walked straight toward Baba's Jhopdi. Barsoap told him to take off his shoes before entering the hut, but disregarding him, he went straight before Baba and asked, "What yoga do you practice?"
"Ghamela yoga," Baba stated.
Khushrow then asked, "Why do you wear long hair and go about naked?"
Baba discreetly pointed to his boxer shorts under his pajamas and then, pointing at Khushrow's English suit and hat, asked, "Why do you put on a hat? Did Zoroaster, the Prophet, ever dress like this?"
Khushrow felt insulted and angrily retorted, "Yes, Zoroaster did wear such clothes!" And, though he knew Meher Baba was wearing underwear, he kept repeating that he was naked! Despite Nagarwalla's arrogant tone, Baba continued to calmly and politely answer his questions.
Failing to make Baba lose his temper, Khushrow and his friend began shouting abuses. "You are a fake, a hypocrite and an impostor! You misguide people!"
Overhearing this, Adi, Gulmai's son, lost his temper and angrily told them to leave at once.
Baba stopped Adi from saying anything further and told him to bow down to them and beg their pardon. Adi did so and asked them to forgive his rude behavior. This humiliating gesture on the part of Khansaheb's son, however, made them feel embarrassed. They quietly left without any further incident.
After a few days passed, Khushrow Nagarwalla unexpectedly showed up at Meherabad alone and asked Meher Baba's pardon for his insolence.
For several days during May 1924, Baba fasted solely on a small amount of milkless tea. His presence near Arangaon caused much interest among the local villagers. The poor farmers gradually realized that there was a sadhu or holy man living nearby.
One day two children, Bhau Cheema Kamble and Chhabu Sona Kamble, snuck over to Meherabad. Baba spotted them, and beckoned them to approach him. They became frightened and started crying.
Baba gently caressed them, saying, "Don't be afraid. Tell me where you live."
Bhau Cheema replied that they resided in Arangaon. Baba asked how many children there were in the village and what they did all day. The boy explained that there were many Mahar and Mang children (lower-caste Untouchables) who take the goats and cows for grazing.
Baba then asked, "If they are given sweets, will they come to visit me?"
Smiling, Chhabu said, "For candy, every one of the children will come, sir!"
