He wrote it without including the girls [kanyas] and gave his own interpretation. Later on, he began to doubt Maharaj. He then left him, and spread rumors about his keeping young girls, et cetera. He left Sakori, but the book was published.

He then went to Shirdi, when Sai Baba was no longer in his physical form. He gained information from the local people about miracles, and wrote a small book about Sai Baba's miracles [The Wondrous Saint Sai Baba], but stressed only petty things — how Sai Baba blessed women who got children, and placed his hand on a poor man who got rich, how he lighted lamps with water, and so on. And from that day, people came from all parts of India for children, for money and for jobs. But we leave aside this matter.

Continuing, Baba revealed:

When I was in that superconscious state, this consciousness was of God. In that state, I was drawn to Shirdi to be near Sai Baba. When Sai Baba wanted to move his bowels, people would take him in procession with a band and pipes. He was worthy of all that. He might stay there for an hour, and the procession and band would return with him to his seat. The first day I was drawn there [in 1915] I had bloodshot eyes and had had no sleep for days, and I laid my head on his feet as he was walking in the procession. He cried loudly, "Parvardigar!" meaning, "You are God!" After saying that, he pointed to the direction where Upasni Maharaj sat.

I went to where Upasni Maharaj sat. He was thin and weak. As soon as he saw me, he picked up a stone, threw it and hit me on the forehead, and instantaneously, I recovered normal consciousness. Then I went with him to Sakori and stayed [off and on] for seven years. Sakori was not then as you see it. It was still wasteland, with a small hut for Upasni Maharaj. There was a woman there, a lady called Durgabai, who loved Maharaj and myself equally. People gathered there, mostly Brahmins, for Maharaj was Brahmin by birth.

Shall I stop now and go on to the planes?

The answer was no. "It is all the same to me," Baba remarked, then he continued:

Who was the Master of Jesus?
