Passage 44

In English

I had also written some dramas. It is raining today, and that is why I am narrating these stories to you. Otherwise, I would never tell them! I had several small plays staged by the small children. One such drama was entitled, " (Do they act as they speak?)" The central characters were the mother and father at home and the teacher. The mother in the drama would conduct a in the evening for a few ladies in which she would expound the inner meanings of the holy texts. Her name was . This character was based on the wife 's wife. Whenever she discoursed, I would sit there. She would read the highly philosophical Vedantic texts. She would actually find it difficult to understand these and even had the handicap of not knowing the alphabets properly. She would still try to somehow go on. She used to explain the various attributes of God and describe Him as highly righteous and as the Embodiment of Truth. I then wrote a song that ended with the words "". She would struggle to explain its meaning verbatim! I would then take a suitable opportunity to go and explain to her that it would be better if she could explain the verses rather than simply read them out.
