cont.<br><br>She went to Baba and said, "Baba,

why do you cry? Have you lost your wife?"<br>The baba

laughed and said, "Lali, I never had a wife."<br> "I see,

so you weep because you have no one whom you can

regard as your own?" said Radha in a tone of deep

sympathy.<br> Baba said grievously, "No lali, I weep because

those who are mine have forgotten me."<br> "Who are

they babaji?"<br> "Lali you do not know. One of them

is the heartless son of Nanda, who always tempts and

tantalizes but never shows himself and the other..Oh what

shall I say about Her, Lali? The other is Radha, who

also has become heartless in His company."<br><br>

Radha felt grieveously hurt in the tendermost corner of

Her heart. "Me, Me, heartless?!?!" She burst out.

Then trying to conceal Herself said, "Baba! My name is

also Radha. Tell me what you want."<br> "What should I

say Lali? What can I want except their darshana."<br>

"Silly Baba!! You have no eyes, how can you see

them??"<br> "Lali, you are the silly one, not me. I will get

back my sight as soon as they touch my eyes with their

lotus hands."<br><br>Unable to restrain Herself, Radha

touched one eye with her lotus hand and Krsna touched the

other. Imemdiately baba's eyesight was restored and he

saw both Radha and Krsna standing before him. The

baba immediately lost consciousness and lay there the

entire night. He was later discovered by pilgrims and

brought around. But now he cried more than ever because

separation is more painful after the meeting than separation

before it. Unable to bear this a moment longer he left

his body to join Radha Krsna in transendental
