Where there were saints or holy people, he would be found in their company. Some of these saints like Janaki Das and Devi Das were the first to discover his merits; and in the early eighties of the 19th century, some of them revealed the fact that Baba was like a diamond lying on a dung hill, and that the world would one day discover what a great Rama Bhakta he was. The world has since discovered that fact, and more, has identified him with Rama, Krishna, Maruti, Datta, etc.8. At the time of his arrival at Shirdi, Baba appears to have been a thorough adept in the Prema marga, the path of love and evidently possessed of all power, which naturally issues from such love. He seldom cared to use his power, but once, a manifestation was wrung out of him. The shopkeepers who supplied him gratis with oil, one day refused the supply, and gathered in a scoffing mood to see what the ‘mad fakir’, as they styled him, would do without oil for his lamps. Baba simply filled up his empty earthen lamps with water, and the wicks inserted in the water were burning all night! This gave a rude shock to the villagers’ notion that Baba was negligible and mad fakir.
