The
watchman at Vrindavan ashram was making money on the sly by selling
bags of cement while the ashram was under construction. Baba, knowing
all, feigned ignorance, but when someone made a complaint to him, he
called the watchman and asked him, "How much have you
sold the cement for?"
He replied, "Two hundred and fifty rupees." Giving him two hundred and
fifty rupees more, Baba turned him out of the ashram. The man became
jobless, and after wandering here and there for some time, he returned
to Baba. He apologised with a heavy heart for his misdeeds and asked
Baba to take him back into his service. Baba appointed him watchman at
Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple in Lucknow. The manager at the temple was
his devotee Bhushan Chandra Joshi, the former superintendent of Central
Jail in Agra. Baba told people that he sent the watchman to Central
Jail.
