Baba
never slept during the day and never rested his back on the wall when
sitting. He would sit alone unobserved by all and take out an old cloth
bag.
There would be some old worn out coins in it. They were of
various denominations such as four annas, two annas half a rupee, one
paisa and so on. (A rupee had sixteen annas in the currency of that
time.) He would take out these coins and rub them vigorously saying,
"This is Nana’s; this is Kaka’s, this Somya’s and this Damya’s". If he
heard anyone’s footsteps nearing him, he would at once hide the coins in
the bag. What those coins indicated or why Baba rubbed them thus was an
unfathomable mystery. Baba never told anyone about those coins.
