Indiference to Body:

In the Samvat Year 1870 Dada Khachar's father Ebhal Khachar passed away. So sweets were prepared in the palace everyday as a part of the obsequies. Maharaj Himself served all the saints. Swami also dined along with others. He would eat whatever was served in his plate because he enjoyed the pleasure of Maharaj's bliss. Along with other saints, Maharaj fed Swami so much that Swami's body became pale after some time due to an excess intake of sugar. His digestive system became weak. He could digest only milk; so Maharaj instructed him to take milk only.
Thereafter, when Swami was moving around Nagher (near Una) in the group of Kripanand Swami, he used to consume coconut with milk. This made him all the more weak; but he never cared for his body. Once Maharaj gave him darshan in the form of a jogi near the well situated on the borders of village Kovaiya and said, "Sadhuram ! Why is your belly glistening? It seems you have had excess milk. We feel concerned about your body..." and He disappeared. Swami stopped taking milk, realising this concerned attitude of Maharaj, and observed this rule till he lived.
Thereafter, Kripanand Swami arrived at Gadhada. Swami was also with the group. Here Maharaj gave leaves and dal of udad to Swami. Udad dal was very pungent and Maharaj had also added chilly powder. Swami was not used to pungent food. But he ate away everything that was served as it was prasadi from Maharaj. As a result of this, he purged away the dross from his body and then went to Maharaj for the darshan. Maharaj was very happy to see His favourite saint hale and hearty. In this way Maharaj Himself took care of Swami's health.
