Once a horseman came to Jal Bapa's Ashram in Virpur. He was so exhausted that he had no strength even to take off the saddle from the horseback. At once he lay down on the ground saying, "Let me lie down here peacefully. I am completely exhausted. I do not want to eat or drink anything."

Bapa ran his loving hand over the head of the traveller, brought out sweets from the store-room and pressed its pieces into the mouth of the traveller. After feeding him thus Jala Bapa let him rest. Then he went to the horse, took off the saddle and stood before it with folded hands saying, "My Rama! IF your rider is so much exhausted how much more you must be exhausted!"

Then he gave him fodder, washed his legs with warm water and massaged his legs softly.

Such was Jalaram Bapa. He saw Rama in all creatures and was always ready to serve them.
