Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Years later, some devotees tried to make Bhagavan sit on a chair in the dining room and eat his meals off a table. Prior to that, he had sat on the floor like everyone else. I arrived at the ashram from Madras shortly after this new arrangement had been put into operation. When he saw me in the dining room, Bhagavan called out to me, "Do you see, Rangan, what they are doing to me now? They have ordered me to sit in a chair and eat my meal off this table." After making a few enquiries I discovered that this new arrangement had been made because devotees had noticed that Bhagavan was finding it difficult to squat on the floor and get up again. When I found this out, I went up to him and said, "Do you ever ask for anything? You do not want anything. We must therefore look after your comfort." Bhagavan was not convinced. He would rather put up with any difficulty than be given special treatment. The Power of the Presence, vol. 1 David Godman ch. Rangan, p. 37 Mail is new and improved - Check it out!
