The story of Kashiram's encounter with Bhil robbers is a notable one, detailed in Chapter 0. While returning from a market, he was set upon by thieves. They took some of his belongings, but their attention was drawn to a small bundle they believed contained treasure. Kashiram refused to let go of this bundle, even at great risk to his life. However, the bundle did not contain valuables; it was filled with powdered sugar. Chapter 0 clarifies that Kashiram carried this sugar because a saint named Janakidas Baba had advised him to feed it to ants. The bundle was dear to him not for monetary value, but because it represented his adherence to a saint's compassionate instruction. He fought the thieves to protect it, showing his commitment to this simple act of service.
