The four modern incidents narrated here are taken with thanks from his book "Mahamantranan Ajavalan”.

A small village it was with a narrow track.
A Mahatma of the community known as Lokavarna arrived there. Persons in large number gathered together over there for the Darshan of Uka Bhagat. All were seated blocking his way and there was a rivalry to touch his feet.
Shrikant was in a hurry to reach the station; he had to catch the train for the city. He folded his hands and tried to pass through the crowd; but there was no way out.
Then, Uka Bhagat said loudly : "Let Shrikantbhai have the way. He will be delayed in reaching the cemetry ground."
The way was given, but Shrikant got stunned; he stopped where he was. "Cemetry ground?” He asked the Bhagat. No reply came but there was just a flicker of a smile on his face. "Well sir! I am going to attend the marriage of my friend!".
"What marriage? Why talk of it? Go at once. You are getting late for the train."
Shrikant hurried up, reached the station in time, boarded the train with ticket. The words of the Bhagat stuck in his heart; his delight of marriage got nullified. The forecast of the Bhagat was tormenting him. He found the usual speed of the train to be too slow. He got down at the city station and ran to the house of Divyakant.
