> >ALWAYS SING "ANANDOHAM": Sri Aravamudan had a

> pricking conscience. He

> >had uttered an unpremeditated lie without realising

> its consequences.

> >With a contrite heart he wrote a note to the Master

> and left it on his

> >office table, apologising for the mistake.

> >On seeing the note the Master exclaimed, "What! Is

> Aravamudan leaving

> >the Ashram?"

> >

> >"No, Swamiji, he has only left a note."

> >

> >"All right. Is it about that incident?"

> >

> >The Master threw the note down without reading it

> further.

> >

> >"Usually, whenever someone places a note on my

> table or prostrates, I

> >take it to be an indication of 'Om Namo Narayanaya!

> I am going to

> >Uttarkasi'."

> >To Aravamudan the Master later said, "Don't worry.

> These slips do occur

> >in a man's life. Learn a lesson and profit by them.

> Then forget such

> >events. Always sing 'Anandoham', never

> 'worry-oham'!"
