Maharaj

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 Maharaj 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.
