Whenever Baba came to Prayag, his devotee Kanhaiyalal Srivastava would inform
all the devotees that Maharaj had arrived. Baba scolded him for this,
but he was not able to resist the impulse to share Baba's darshan.
Once, when Baba was staying at Church Lane, Kanhaiyalal ji took three
dignified men to have darshan.
Before they arrived, Baba left for the Allahabad train station with
Sudhir Mukerjee. On hearing the news, Kanhaiyalal ji also went to the
station, and leaving the three men at a particular place on the
platform, he went to look for Baba. He saw Baba and Mukerjee Dada
sitting on one end of the platform. He went to them and humbly asked
Baba to give the three men darshan. Baba did not
grant the
request. Because Kanhaiyalal ji glorified Baba, it inspired people to
want to meet him and sometimes to test him. Baba never like people to
praise him, and he was always indifferent to those who wanted to test
him.
Kanhaiyalal went back disappointed and stood quietly by his
companions. He thought that Baba would have to return that way and that
they would have his darshan as he passed by.
After some time
Baba got up and wandered around the platform, holding Mukerjee Dada's
hand. There were not many people around since no train was due, but
Muaharaj passed by those four people twice without them seeing him.
Mukerjee Dada could see those people looking towards them and could not
understand why they did not take advantage of the opportunity to meet
Baba. He did not understand that in being with Baba, he was also
invisible to those people.
