In plain words
October, on a Sunday, the twentieth day, Bābā, come back from Hampi and on his way to school, had a collar pin slip and go missing; that day a change came about: the bond with the world became the pin and fell away; the pilgrimage too was fulfilled at Hampi; saying Māyā had fallen away, Bābā left home.
Man has two kinds of desire. One is viṣaya-vāsanā, which belongs to the world. The second is the thought of God, which belongs to the highest goal. “To be happy here, the learning that wins gold; to be happy in the beyond, Brahmavidyā.” But people make worldly desires alone their main concern. “The bond with the world became the pin and fell away …” To me this bond with the world is the same as a pin. It has fallen away. So I said I would not come home any more. Meanwhile many people gathered there. In that place lived H.S. Venkataramana, a teacher. They took me to his house. “Are you searching for God? Or are you searching for the pin?” they asked. “There is no need to search for God. Wherever you look, He is there. I have no need of the pin. Whatever is wanted, it is all right here in my hand,” I said. Then Rama Raju: “Where is God? Can we see Him?” he asked. Before that, I had given him a ring. It vanished from his hand and came into mine. He was astonished. “How did what was on my hand come into yours?” he asked. “Everything is right here in my hand,” I said.
(Swami, with a wave of His divine hand, created that ring and showed it to everyone.)
Seeing all this, Seshama Raju was overcome with wonder. Taking Rama Raju's hand, I asked, “What is this?” “My hand,” he said. Taking the pen out of his pocket, I asked, “Whose pen is this?” “Mine,” he said. “My hand and my pen, my body and my mind, my senses, my antaḥkaraṇa: so you say.
