One day Umadatt Shukla brought Maharaj and a gentleman accompanying him
from his shop in Hazratganj, Lucknow, to his house. His mother-in-law
was preparing fried puris with cooked vegetables
for two, and
she had also brought some sweets from the market. While Shukla was
serving food to Baba and the person with him in the outer room, R.K.
Trivedi and his father and family arrived. Trivedi was Shukla's cousin
and his father was a great devotee of Baba. Baba asked Shukla to serve
food to the visitors. After everyone had dinner and left, Shukla's
mother-in-law said to him that the Trivedis should also have been asked
to dinner. When Shukla told her that everyone had eaten their fill
before they left, she was surprised. She could not understand how
twelve people were fed with the food prepared for only two, especially
as there was still enough food left for the three members of the
household. Really, Baba fed all.
