Evolution of Love 2

Tour of india

A devotee asked, "It seems that someone requested permission to take you round the whole of the country for propaganda and for preaching."
Bhagavan replied, "Yes. That was Swami Rajeshwarananda himself. You know he used to live here some years ago. At that time, he was drawing up plans for touring the whole of India ;
to which important places we should go for delivering lectures ;
how a special train was to be arranged for travel ;
how many days to stay in the various places, and so on. I used to hear all that he said and keep quiet. He mistook my silence for consent.
Ultimately he arranged to travel by first class, packed all things and said,
"Swami, shall we start?".
"Yes. Why not? Go and come back". I said.
"What about Bhagavan?". He said.
"Me. Why?". I said.
"You must preach the essence of the Advaita to the people in the whole of India, Swami". He said.
"Is that so? What can I do? Where to stay? Where to go? I have no place to go". I said. He was taken aback.
During the early days of the arrival of motor cars into this country, several people used to buy cars, bring them here, and say,
"If Bhagavan gets into the car but once, we will take it round the hill and return immediately. Please get in Swami".
Where was I to go, getting into such things, said Bhagavan.
See what is stated in Mahavakya Ratnamala:
"What is there for me to do,
Where am I to go,
What am I to accept and what am I to discard,
Since I pervade the entire universe like the waters of the final deluge".
