When Chakra Narain, a Christian, was appointed as Sub- Inspector at Rahata, some of his followers, who were displeased, went and told Baba, “The new Fouzdar is neither a Hindu nor a Muhammadan but a Christian’. Baba’s retort was What of that? He is my brother’. It must be remembered that Baba was called a Maharaja and looked exactly like a Maharaja in the midst of all regal paraphernalia. His powers also struck Chakra Narain as marvellous, that is, his powers of clairvoyance, and clairaudience, in popular parlance, but known to scholars as Antarjnana or Ritambhara prajna or Pratiba.
In his statement in the book ‘Devotees’ Experiences, Volume I Page 117 in October 1936, he showed some appreciation of Sai Baba
He admitted that he was not a believer in Baba, but he began to admire his noble qualities which he came to know when he was ordered to watch Baba. He and some of his men were watching Baba for various purposes including income tax. He conceived a great regard for Baba because he found that Baba was not moved by kuamini or kanchana (woman or wealth). Many women would come to Baba and place their bare heads on his hare feet and sit close to him. But Baba was totally unmoved.
This fouzdar was asked to watch Baba regarding the money he received from people Here also he had great admiration for Baba. When Baba died, the Government took possession of his cash and the amount with him was only Rs. 16. Yet he was daily giving hundreds of rupees. and Chakra Narain was wonderstruck at the fact that His riches (which they noticed) were limited, and that though there was no stock of cash with him at the beginning of the day, at the end of the day he had paid hundreds of rupees (miracle). Wherefrom did the excess come for him to disburse or pay? The Police could not make out. Therefore Chakra Narain concluded that Baba had divine powers.
