NO MATTER WHAT HIS BELOVED ASKED HIM TO DO

 
On one stay at Guruprasad Harry Kenmore had the mandali obtain an old-fashioned pram with large wheels and a high handle. This was stripped inside, and a large stone put in it to give it ballast. Baba then pushed the pram up and down the verandah, and this gave Him needed and reasonably comfortable exercise.

At one time, whilst Baba was thus walking, Deshmukh remarked, 'Baba how fortunate that stone in the pram is!'

Baba stopped in His tracks, 'What did you say?'

'Baba that stone is really fortunate to be pushed along in the pram by You!'

'Is that so?' said Baba, 'Are you jealous of its good luck? Come then and you sit in the cart!'

'Oh no Baba! Not like that!', protested Deshmukh.

'Come now, into the cart' ordered Baba.

So there was Deshmukh perched in the cart, and Beloved Baba pushing him! What a sight it was! Everyone laughed, particularly at Deshmukh sitting in the pram unperturbed as usual that he was an object of mirth and perhaps a little of ridicule.

But that was Deshmukh — no matter what his Beloved Baba asked him to do, he was totally prepared to do it.
