The boy tore away the slip and wrote another, which said, “You
are kind to squirrels and hares. You fondle them when they
struggle to run away from you. Yet you are indifferent to human
beings. For instance, I have left my home and am waiting here
for a fortnight. I have had no food some days. I am struggling.
Still you do not care for me.”
M.: Look here. I am not endowed with television. God has not
bestowed that gift on me. What shall I do? How can I answer your
questions? People call me Maharshi and treat me like this. But I
do not see myself as a Maharshi. On the other hand everyone is a
Maharshi to me. It is good that you in this early age are attempting
to seek God. Concentrate on Him. Do your work without desiring
the fruits thereof. That is all that you should do.

the body are bound to produce sound. That sound is involuntary and
continuous. That is nada.

or their past. They ignore the present. The load from the past forms the
present misery. The attempt to recall the past is mere waste of time.”
