While Maharaj was living at Nibkarori, an inspector of police would come to see him. He came riding a beautiful and spirited mare that had been a great effort to break in. On his visits the inspector would remove the saddle and reins and leave the mare to graze and rest. One day, motivated by his childlike temperament, Baba insisted on going for a ride. Though the inspector tried to dissuade him, Baba mounted the dangerous mare without reins or saddle and made her run at breakneck speed. The mare tried to shake Baba off, but he held on, sometimes hanging on the left side, sometimes on the right, sometimes even underneath the mare. At last the mare became very tired. When Baba dismounted and walked away from her, she followed Baba instead of going to her master.
