Baba, noting Mahlsapathy’s attitude, left the place (Khandoba temple), and went to the gode- neem tree, which he used as his halting place off and on. He went about the village and the surrounding lands and had no particular arrangements for food.
Luckily the village head, Ganapat Rao Patil Kothe and his wife Bayaji Bai, were greatly attracted by Baba’s personality, and from the very beginning of his stay there, they undertook to feed him, even when he was running about. Gradually he gave up roaming and then went about the streets, halted at four or five places and from there collected whatever food was brought to him.
For his stay and sleep, the dilapidated mosque of the village was the only place, and it soon became his residence. He was never for wholly deserting society and living in mountain caves and deserts.
