Maharaj

S.K. Shukla was very eager for promotion. Maharaj blessed him, and he became deputy director of industries of the government of Uttar Pradesh. One day his friend Bhagwati Sevak Bajpai went to Allahabad to have Baba's darshan, and during the course of a conversation Baba expressed his annoyance with Shukla. After staying the night, Bajpai took leave of Baba and reached his house in Kanpur within a few hours. No sooner did he arrive home than he phoned Shukla to tell him about Baba's displeasure. Shukla, who had built a new house in Kanpur with a special room for Baba upstairs, asked him to come to his house at once. On Bajpai's arrival, Shukla said, "You were talking about last night. Well, Baba was here with me then." As proof he showed him Baba's footprints. The floor in front of Baba's room had been newly plastered the previous day. Baba had walked on the wet floor going into the room, so his footprints made a permanent impression there.
