Prabhdas Mehta, a follower of Sain Beydil Shah, was both a landlord and a contractor. A suit, which had been filed against him, was just over. As the verdict had gone against him, he was contemplating to appeal to the Higher Court.
Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj happened to visit his house. As usual, he had gone there with bare feet, even though it was the season of summer. Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj expressed to the wife of Prabhdas a desire to eat something as he was hungry. She asked her daughter-in-law to bring meals for him. Chappatis, pulse and mango pickle were placed before him. He, however, declined to eat these and asked for bitter gourds. The daughter-in-law lied to Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj, saying that they had not prepared bitter gourds. Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj, who was All-knowing, informed her that they were kept on a shelf. It was only after all the bitter gourds were brought to him that he partook of the meals.
Soon thereafter as Prabhdas entered his house, along with his brother and son, Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj smilingly uttered these words: "Prabhdas! It is useless to file an appeal against the judgement of the Lower Court. You treat the verdict of the Lower Court as the verdict of the High Court." Prabhdas took the words of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj lightly, as he regarded him to be eccentric and crazy.
Women, compared to men, as we all know, have greater devotion for and faith in dervishes and fakirs. The wife of Prabhdas, too, had great faith in Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj and regarded him as an All-knowing holy being. She impressed on her husband and his brother that Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj was an enlightened soul who could foretell events and that whatever he predicted came out to be true. Accordingly, they dropped the idea of filing an appeal to the Higher Court and were saved the botheration of spending time, labour and money.
