M. in Calcutta - Part2 - 2Mins
* V e n u *
The evening-lamp is brought in. M. salutes with folded hands.
And with soft clapping of hands he repeats the mantra, Hari bol,
Hari bol (chant Lord's name). Then all meditate for a while.
Now, the elder Jiten arrives accompanied by Kaviraj Virinchi.
The elder Jiten has passed law and is a bench-clerk in the High
Court -- a very devoted and noble soul. The usual welfare enquiries
with M. being over, the younger Jiten asks the elder Jiten, Brother
Jit, have you changed residence? The elder Jiten replies, Yes
brother. Twenty years have gone by in Brindaban Mullick lane but
I feel it was just the other day. Hearing this M. immediately
turns the topic of the conversation and says, It's no credit to
you. He kept you, so you lived. Your brother has passed away.
But then God himself will make an alternative provision.
M. (to the bhaktas) -- Various are the temperaments. Some live
in the world like the leech and sink lower and lower. Sattva,
rajas, tamas, mixture of these three qualities has given rise
to so many different natures. To conquer this nature is the problem
of life.
