Bhagavan: I want to be left alone

[Guest guest]

Editor of Conscious Immortality wrote:

A disciple was once agitated because someone in the town spoke deprecatingly of the Maharshi.

 

M: I permit him to do so. Let him say even more. Let others follow suit. Just

let them leave me alone. If anyone cares to believe those scandalous words, I

shall consider it a great service to me, because if he persuades people to

think of me as a false swami, they will no longer come to visit me and then I

shall be able to have a quite life. I want to be left alone, therefore I

welcome the libelous pamphlet. (He Laughed).

 

Editor again: Once when the Maharshi was violently harangued by an emissary of

Perumal Swami, he listened silently to the whole thing. At the end he said,

'One day I will get up and go away altogether.'
