As a school teacher, Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj went to the school dressed in trousers and a black coat made from alpaka cloth. He covered his head with a turban. He attended to his teaching work by putting heart and soul in it. His pupils easily understood all that he taught and showed remarkable results at the examinations. His Headmaster, Dewan Gokuldas Keswani, was greatly impressed by his work and placed great confidence in him. He even entrusted important and confidential papers to him and asked him to dispose them off. Whenever the Headmaster had some urgent work, he would depute Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj to attend to it.
Finding Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj in the good books of the Headmaster, some of his colleagues grew jealous of him. To denigrate him, they would complain to the Headmaster against the late-coming of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj to the school. They groused and asked the Headmaster why it was that Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj was not taken to task whereas others were reprimanded for similar reason. The Headmaster gave them a patient hearing and promised to look into the matter. He soon visited the class of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj and thereafter would periodically inspect it. He was surprised to find the students well-versed in all the subjects. He was greatly satisfied with the intelligent answers he received to his questions. The Headmaster, notwithstanding this, considered it his duty, enquired from Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj why he came late to school. The latter instantly replied: "My life strings are in the Hands of God. I move as He pulls them".
The colleagues of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj were well aware of the fact that important and confidential papers of the school were kept in his custody. In order to put him in the bad books of the Headmaster, they contrived to remove some of these from the drawers of the table in which he kept them. They then went and reported to the Headmaster that Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj was careless and had lost the papers. This made the Headmaster so anxious and worried that he at once sent for Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj and directed him to produce the papers. Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj, nor perturbed in the least, immediately brought the papers and handed them over to the Headmaster to the immense amazement and shock of the colleagues. Ashamed of their ill-deed and greatly stunned, they apologised profusely to Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj. They now realised that he, whom they wished to defame, was under the protection of Higher Powers.
It was now high time Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj got married and became a grahasti. Others, younger to him, were not only married but had become fathers. The mother of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj, Devi Chaina, was accordingly worried about her son. She, no doubt, realised that no offer of a girl would come to her as she was not only poor but also belonged to the Bhatia clan which was not rated high in those days. Devi Chaina had, however, of late observed the change that had come over her son. She found him retreating to a quiet corner quite often and spending much of his time in prayer and meditation. She, therefore, advised him to pray to God to grant him a bride. Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj did so by worshipping Lord Krishna and became His ardent devotee.
It was Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj's habit to get up in the early hours of the morning and go to the river-bank for a bath. While returning home, he would fetch water for drinking and other domestic purposes. He would then devote some time to prayer and meditation. Often, he was so lost in meditation that he would lose count of time, with the result that he would reach school late. His mother bade him to pray to God to be blessed with a worldly spouse; but when Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj sat to pray, instead of asking for a bride, he would beg to be blessed with the treasures of the Name Divine.
Time moved on. Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj continued to remain a bachelor, as his mother did not receive a suitable offer of a bride for him. She naturally became disappointed and depressed. What would become of her son when she would depart from this world? Who would look after him and attend to his daily needs? Her son rarely thought of himself. Thoughts such as these vexed her every now and then. The mother little dreamt that her son, who was least bothered about himself, would in time to come get devotees, who would not only worship him and hold him in high reverence, but also minister to his worldly needs.
In the year 1911, the Annual Inspection of the school was to be held on a particular day. Now it so happened that Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj, on that day, was lost in prayer and meditation for a longer time than usual and reached the School late. The Educational Inspector went to the class of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj when, the latter had not actually reached the School. But God Himself assumed the form of Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj and stood before the Inspector in the classroom. The Inspector left the class quite satisfied with the answers he received from the pupils. By the time Shahenshah Baba Nebhraj reached the School, his Class Inspection was already over. This incident served to enhance his faith in God who had come to his rescue by assuming his form and save him from any disciplinary action. He now felt that he must no longer serve worldly masters. He decided there and then to devote his entire life to the Lord Himself and to become His servant. That very day, he handed over his resignation to the Headmaster, quietly left his home and went and made the forest his abode. Fortunately, that very forest happened to be close to the Kangah i.e. the Shrines of Sain Beydil and Sain Bekas.
