Eruch said that as a rule Baba would not stand even the slightest noise made by the mandali while he rested, though he would not be disturbed by moving trains when he slept on railway platforms during these tours! Once when Baba and the mandali were sleeping on a platform, a thief, in order to evade the police, came and slept among them!

Eruch added that when Baba traveled by car, the car would always be filled to capacity with the mandali and luggage, yet Baba would stop the car every now and then to give a lift to an old man or woman on the road. Eruch said that once he got exasperated at this because there was not an inch of space in the car and yet Baba wanted to give a lift to a person carrying an enormous bundle of his belongings! He told Baba; "I shall walk, let this man occupy my seat." Eruch added that Baba would try their patience, love and faith for him to the extreme.

Baba continued, "Once in an overcrowded third class railway compartment the mandali had to keep standing in order to give me a little space to sleep.

Baidul obstructed his entry and in the tussle the mayor fell off to the platform. He called in the police. The police started taking statements of all passengers who had witnessed the event. The train was detained for a hour. At last the guard requested the police to board the train and then continue to take statements. We reached our destination and all of us got off and went away while the police did not realize who were the accused in the overcrowded compartment!"

During the last world war when several compartments of the railway trains would be reserved for military personnel, Baba and his mandali once got into a military compartment as the train was overcrowded. There was objection to this from a number of the occupants while the remaining ones helped Baba and party to enter. A quarrel ensued among the occupants and hot discussions followed. When the train moved, Baba and the mandali
