The next evening, the children told him, "We have thought it over, but we have never seen the god with six hands!"
Baba smiled and said, "I will show you that god and every other god, but first join me in singing a bhajan. And sing with all your heart!"
"There is this god and there is that god! O God! You are the God of every god!"
The children asked, "We will sing, but will you give us a treat?"
Baba laughed and said, "Yes, I will definitely give you something."
Thus, every evening the Master would sing bhajans with these poor children and, though they were illiterate, he would often question them about different issues. Among them was a boy named Wakadya who was lame, yet he was very intelligent and would daily march the village children to Meherabad in parade fashion, with music and singing. He would lead the parade, blowing on a long trumpet the whole way producing a loud peculiar note: " Ghoo ... ghoo ... ghoo ."
On 3 May 1924, 30 children came to Meherabad in a band under Wakadya's leadership. Arjun was given the duty of teaching them to sing bhajans. Baba distributed two large baskets of fruit which Munshiji had brought from Bombay.
Munshiji had arrived from Bombay that day, and Sayyed Saheb had come from Nasik a few days before. Baba had a private talk with Munshiji and later sent for the mandali to join them. He explained to Munshiji how, "on religious grounds," Barsoap had broken his order of bowing to every member of the mandali.
Baba asked him, "Is my order against the principles of Islam? Does Islam ban paying respects to one person by another?"
Once a staunch Muslim, Munshiji stated, "From the Islamic point of view, I do not find anything wrong with this order. But what has religion got to do with your orders? Your very orders are our religion!"
This reply made Barsoap feel abashed.
Baba changed the topic and had the mail read. A letter from Baily in Bombay mentioned that a friend of his had recently seen Baba in Bombay. Baily complained in his letter, "Why did you not send for me when you had come to Bombay? Are you displeased with me in any way?" He further wrote: "It is possible this may be a miracle on your part, as I feel quite certain that had you been to Bombay, you would have either seen me or sent word to me."
