The Meeting of Two Great Saints
Yogeshwar Pande from New Hyderabad, Lucknow, had the good fortune to witness Baba's meeting with Swami Ramanand. It was the meeting of two great saints. After extending the usual hospitality, Baba said to Swami ji that he should give him his Kashmiri shawl. Swami ji at once removed his shawl and gave it to Baba. Swami ji also humbly asked for Baba's permission to request something from him. Swami ji asked Baba to give him the blanket he was wearing. Baba gave it to him in the same manner that Swami ji had given him the shawl.
On their return from having Baba's darshan, Pande, expressing his inner curiosity, asked Swami ji, "How can the exchange of a shawl for a blanket be fair?" At this Swami Ramanand said, "Baba Neeb Karori is a saint of the highest order. Of course he wanders in this world in a physical body, but he is not at all conscious of the environment around him. He lives in the state of the highest samadhi. His laughter, his shedding of tears are not at all influenced by the situations prevailing at the time. He is in constant communion with God, and all his actions are performed accordingly. It is not desirable to consider his blanket as an ordinary one. It is his great prasad."
