Once the private secretary to the Governor of

Pondicherry arrived at the ashram with a few of his

associates. He came into the hall with a large sheet

of paper filled with a long list of questions written

in an elaborate, complex style of French. He handed

the paper over to Bhagavan, walked over to the window

opposite Bhagavan's couch and sat on the window sill.

Bhagavan looked at the questions and noticing they

were written in French called me to him and asked me

to translate them. I found the French difficult to

translate and I was struggling with it, word by word,

while translating it to Bhagavan.

Bhagavan, realizing my difficulty, said, "That's not

necessary. Just tell me what the gist of this question

paper is." I scanned through the whole list of

questions and then told Bhagavan that it says that he

really doesn't want oral answers to all of these

questions, but rather the answer in the form of an

experience.

 

Bhagavan paused a moment. He then slowly turned his

face in the direction of the questioner and rested his

eyes on him. When about thirty seconds passed like

this, I noticed the man's body began to tremble. Soon

he was shaking all over. Then he blurted out, "Oh no,

Bhagavan, not now! Please Bhagavan, not now!"

 

I was standing a little to the side of Bhagavan

watching this extraordinary scene and wondering what a

being this Bhagavan is. He is a storehouse of power,

but yet so kind, gentle and compassionate. And in

spite of all this grandeur, he always seems so human

and natural, even laughing and joking with us on

occasions.
