But another Indian (quite a few contacted Baba in this city), Mr. Choudhary, wrote the following:

“When I saw Baba's picture in the newspaper, I immediately called up for an appointment. It was 9 a.m. when Baba appeared, and although I was the last in line Baba called for me first. I prostrated myself pressing His feet with my forehead and bathing them in tears. In a moment, He gave me everything I aspired for in all my life, and I felt an instantaneous recognition on Baba's part. I know a number of great saints but He is the greatest person I ever met. He has such a divine smile . . .Baba's love is reflected in His appearance, at first sight, and whoever comes face to face with Him is taken aback, finding himself incapable of grasping the whole beauty which confronts him all of a sudden.

About 4 o'clock Baba called us all in again to hear the message "How Does One Work for Baba?" Then we retired again to the big room. Baba came in and paced rapidly back and forth, possibly to get exercise, and I thought with a pang, we've locked Him up again in a hotel! A third time we joined Him in the small room and listened to "God Knows Not to God Knows Self," a message on how we may truly become one with Him. At a small private meeting that followed, Dr. Evans-Wentz, the noted scholar and author of such books as the life of the Tibetan yogi Milarepa, met Baba, together with his secretary. He had written a good review of
