This proved what they had told me.
After a short time, when his reading was over, he called me in by one of
his Chelas, and I went to him. He, also bidding me "Ram Ram," received
me very gently and courteously, and began to talk with me mildly in pure
Hindi. He addressed me in words such as follows:--"You should remain
here for some time and see the fair at Mansarowar, which is to come off
shortly. Here you will have plenty of time and suitable retreats for
meditation, &c. I will help you in whatever I can." He spoke as above
for some time, and I replied that what he said was right, and that I
would gladly have stayed, but there was some reason which prevented me.
He understood my object immediately, and then, having given me some
private advice as to my spiritual progress, bade me farewell. Before
this he had come to know that I was hungry, and so wished me to take
some food. He ordered one of his Chelas to supply me with food, which
he did immediately. In order to get hot water ready for my ablutions, he
prepared fire by blowing into a cow-dung cake, which burst into flames
at once.
