Once, while Bhau was on watch near Baba, they heard a loud ruckus, and Bhau was sent by Baba to find out what had happened. When he went to the men's side, he saw Baidul (who was partially paralyzed by a stroke) staggering, as he threatened Kaka with a cane. Kaka, muttering something unintelligible, wrenched Baidul's cane from his hand and was about to strike him with it. Baba laughed and laughed when the scene was reconstructed for him.
In mandali hall, Baba would walk beside Kaka each day, holding his arm for support as he strode the length of the room a few times. Baidul would watch glumly from his seat on the floor along the wall, although he never asked why only Kaka was given this privilege. One day Baba stopped and caressed Baidul's cheeks. Baidul lit up so, as if the sun had burst upon his face!
Once, after someone joked about Baidul's none-too-clean habits, Baba chuckled along with everyone, but then wistfully observed, "He has served me much!"
Baidul once fell asleep with incense burning in his room. A fire started and smoke started pouring out. Yusuf, the driver, woke him up. Later, Yusuf remarked to Kaka, "He might have died!"
Kaka snapped, "Not at Meherazad; let him die in Meherabad!" because Baba had said that Kaka was to be the only mandali member buried at Meherazad.
Kaka had already had four heart attacks, beginning in 1950 during the New Life. In 1965 he had had a stroke, and in 1967, he suffered a very severe fifth heart attack. Goher, Aloba and Bhau attended to him, but Kaka was not an easy patient to nurse. He was a fastidious sort of person, very fussy about things being kept in his room just so, and would not listen to his attendants. One night Goher came to Baba's bedroom and pleaded, "Baba, Kaka's condition is serious. He should be removed to the hospital. He can't be saved now!"
Bhau agreed, but Baba replied, "If he cannot be saved, and you think his time has come, then it's better he dies here at Meherazad than in the hospital. But I tell you, he won't die now."
