In Warangal, on June 5th, (1945) Baba sent Baidul to a very good mast named Brahmachari. Although he was a tiny little man, he was a fearsome jalali type. When the mast saw Baidul he warned him sharply in no uncertain terms, “Do not! Do not step foot in my boundary!” Considering the mast’s fiery mood, Baidul dared not go nearer and returned to Baba.
Baba then sent Kaka to Brahmachari with this message: “We have come here only to meet you.”
The mast angrily rebuked him, “Does he not find any other man to unload his burden upon? Tell him, I don’t accept anything from anyone! And I don’t give anything to anyone!”
Kaka returned, and Baba sent him back to lecture the mast on his uncooperative attitude. Kaka went and criticized the mast for being lazy and irresponsible, and then asked why he just sat there all day and did not take up his responsibility. The mast quietly heard him for a while and then flew into a rage, warning Kaka, “Leave here immediately … or else!”
Kaka came back and told Baba everything. Baba had a good laugh. Although he did not contact the mast physically, it seems it was not necessary, and he had done his inner work through Baidul and Kaka.
The masts are so intoxicated that
there are times when the wine is offered and flung away!
The intoxicated have no consciousness
of the Tavern Keeper – the Beloved –
and when the Tavern Keeper comes to offer more wine
to those mad in his love, some are willing and some are not!
They had become like children and
Baba would do anything to keep masts happy.
Baba, Kaka and Baidul returned to Hyderabad on the 7th of June.
