Swami Adbhutananda

Sri Latu Maharaj recalled:

Sometime after the Master hurt his arm, Tarakda came to Dakshineswar from Vrindaban. When he noticed the bandage on the Master's arm, he asked," What happened to your arm?" The Master replied: " I was going to take a look at the moon, when my feet tripped over a low railing and my arm was broken. The suffering has not stopped." Is it a dislocation or a fracture?" Tarakda asked. " I don't know," said the Master. " These people have simply bandaged my arm. I like to chant the Mother's name with my mind at ease - but just see the trouble now. They won't even let me undo the bandage. Is it possible to call on the Mother in such a painful state? Sometimes I think, what nonsense this bandage is ! Let me break all these bonds and merge in the Divine. Then again I think, no, this is just another aspect of the divine play. There is also some joy in this."
