95. Bapu's faith in Ba

When Bapu launched his anti-untouchability campaign he argued for days with Ba about taking the Harijans into the Ashram, and eventually also admitting them into the kitchen, but to no purpose. At last one day, he remarked, "Alas! I have failed to carry conviction to Ba." But no sooner had he said this than, as it were, out of the depths of his being he added, "Notwithstanding, if I had to choose a companion for myself life after life, I would choose only Ba."
