Chapter - II

The moment Umacharan Mukherji entered the hermitage, there were two Bengali Babu came from Kolkata to visit Swamiji, they prostrate before Swamiji and stood there silently, Swamiji told them to go out of the Mutt with gestures, one person was intelligent so he went out of the Mutt without creating an embarrassing situation, another person was little adamant, he went to argue with the servants of Swamiji, he said ‘ We came all the way from Kolkata to meet Swamiji, we are not going to stay here forever, we want to get some guidance from Swamiji, after that, we will leave to home.’ Seeing this person attitude, Swamiji informed the servants with gestures to move the person out of the hermitage immediately, those were the days Swamiji was observing the vow of silence, he writes on the wall to communicate with people, servants of Swamiji took Bengali Babu in their hands and advised to go out of the mutt, otherwise they have to remove him forcefully, but Bengali Babu was in a rage, ‘I will not go out like this after getting enough mistreatment, is that your culture?’ Swamiji asked Bengali babu to wait, he asked Mangaldas to read the verse he had written on the wall, ‘You have kept eighteen rupees worth footwear outside, if somebody has stolen your sandals, you have to walk back barefoot, because your the mind is still with the sandal wear you have left outside, Is that right or not? You need not tell any lies, you can go now and wear sandals and go back home. Your footwear is still outside.” People surrounded were stunned at this, how did Swamiji read the mind of Bengali Babu.   Umacharan asked Bengali babu ‘All that told were correct?’  Bengalibabu was ashamed of himself, he said ‘Yes, yesterday only I have bought it, it is eighteen rupees worth.’  Bengali babu said ‘ I will not leave this place, it is fortunate to have a Dharshan and adore my head with the dust particles of the feet of a Thrikalajjyani like Swamiji’, he was feeling terribly guilty for his foolishness, he had committed sin how can he get rid of the sin,  finally, Swamiji advised both the Bengali babu to go out of the Mutt, and  they  had to follow the instruction silently.
