Truth is the very nature of
I am reminded of another instance. Some friends of came one day, a mother and her little son. After an hour or so at the , they went to a Puranic recital in the village where the , much to the exasperation of the child, described as an impostor and a fraud. The child insisted on the mother coming away from the place; it ran toward and told him the whole story, when asked them why they came back in such a hurry from the recital. laughed and said, “Yes, I am an ordinary man, not the Divine Power that you take me to be.” But the child could not be put off. It declared that was God. replied, “I am not God, little chap. See, my clothes are torn; I have only two hands; God should have four, isn’t it?” But the boy was in no mood to agree. He declared that He was God, in spite of the two hands that He then seemed to lack. Even while they were arguing thus, some others arrived, exulting over a miracle they witnessed. A child had slipped from the top floor of a house and escaped unhurt. told them, “Yes, I held it in my four arms.” The boy jumped at the words and said, “Now you yourself agree that you have four hands and so you are God.” clasped the child to His bosom, and, taking it inside, gave him a vision of the Lord with four hands. Such was adherence to truth even in the previous body. It is not adherence, it is the very nature of .
