Passage 6

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

I am Your instrument. You are my everything...,” he said, shedding tears of joy. Until now I have not told this to anyone. I showed him all that had to be shown and told him all that had to be told. “Daivaṃ mānuṣarūpeṇa.” “God incarnates only in human form, and appears only as an ordinary human being,” I told him. He went back to Russia. Some days later a letter came to Narendra. “How fortunate you are, working as a teacher in God's educational institution! Do write to me now and then, telling me about Swami,” he wrote.

One day Narendra and I were sitting and talking together. Just then, all of a sudden, in came Messing. How did he come? There was no ticket. He came, he saw Me. Then he vanished. This is not something everyone can see. Even if it is told, not everyone will understand it. Divinity is a deep secret.

Another Wondrous Līlā of Kṛṣṇa

One day all the cowherd boys together were playing in the trees on the bank of the Yamunā, leaping from one branch to another. At that time Bharadvāja came there with another great ṛṣi: “Dear children! Which is a good place here to bathe? Which place is not too deep?” they asked. Kṛṣṇa jumped down from the tree. At once Balarāma too jumped down. Recognising that Kṛṣṇa was the Paramātma Himself, Bharadvāja joined his palms: “Kṛṣṇa! Will You show us a place that is not too deep, for us to bathe?” he asked. “I will show you, come,” said Kṛṣṇa, and He Himself jumped into the river and showed them. “This is a good place to bathe. By the time you have bathed and come back, we will have food ready for you,” He said. Kṛṣṇa had brought nothing with Him. But from somewhere a bundle appeared.
