After spending an hour there (Gwalior Fort), Baba went around the city, visiting the shrine of the late Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia and the zoo, where Bengal tigers and lions were kept free and open in natural surroundings, encircled by deep trenches. "Tigers take lakhs of years to take a human birth,"

 

Baba remarked. "Bears are the most lustful among animals. Monkeys and gorillas are most advanced. They incarnate as human beings, first as savages."
