Where can I go?

[Guest guest]

[in his early years at Arunachala Sri Ramana lived

together with Palaniswami in the small temple of

Arunagirinathar. One day he said to him:]

"You go one way, beg your food and get on.

Let me go another way, beg my food and go on.

Let us not live together."

 

But Palniswami, after the day's begging was over,

came back to the Arunagirinathar temple.

 

"Where can I go? You have the words of life,"

was what he felt. It was no more possible for him

to break away from the Swami than for a tender

calf to break away from its mother.
