Merging with God, Baba wanders like an idiot. He has nomadic habits of running here and there.
Bayyaji Bai had to trace him amongst the jungles or under the trees and gave him his food. As for fame, Baba knew fully that many people took him to be mad or foolish and insulted him calling him Pagal. But he had no vanity to be wounded by such lack of regard. He was like the Bhikshu who was subjected to insults and bore them unruffled with silence as part of his Karma.
On the other hand, when people began to show him great regard and wanted to worship him, he wished to avoid it in the interests of his own peaceful and quiet life. His happiness was complete in it and did not require offerings of naivedyas, of praise, of camphor lights, and the assembling of crowds round him. Thus the first obstacle was from Baba himself. But Baba was divinely gifted and had important objects to achieve in his life, which formed his mission.
