Here is what Narke had to say ....
He who judged of Baba by the outside alone would be greatly mistaken in his estimate. Baba was, of course, adapting himself to the capacity of people that resorted to him for help and protection. Most of them were superficial people- seeking mostly some material gain or advantage; and to them he did not reveal his inner nature. But when anyone capable of diving deeper came to him he revealed more of himself and his powers .Narke was keenly observing him from the first and Baba noticed it and encouraged Narkes's habit of observing and judging - complimenting him as "Hushiar" or clever".
On occasions he told Narke "what a 'Dubya', ie., sluggard you are" - evidently referring to his failure to penetrate beneath the surface of things on those occasions. Baba was not the man to stifle legitimate inquiry. Everything he did or said was full of significance; Narke could mostly understand them.
To one deeply observing him; the startling fact came out into greater and greater prominence that Baba was living and operating in other worlds also, besides this world and in an invisible body. Remarks made by him openly would be treated as meaningless ranting by those who did not knew him.
His language also was highly cryptic - full of symbology, parable, allegory and metaphor. Literal interpretations of them would be made by superficial people - who would then conclude that Baba was a wordly man amongst worldly men and a very avaricious man at that. For instance, a man came to Baba and watched him for a time; and when Narke asked him what impression he formed of Baba. His answer was "I never saw any saint talking of money all the hours of the day" and he felt disappointed.
This man did not know that "Paisa" - money, was used by Baba to denote merit, very often. But on a careful observation and analysis of his talks, one must conclude that his nature, powers and functions were very great and that the way in which people would benefit by His guidance and help would also be peculiar .
