Paragraph 5

In plain words

Today is Wednesday, the dark tenth of Bhadra, the twenty-sixth of September, 1883. On a Wednesday few devotees come, because everyone has his work to attend to; it is mostly on Sundays, when they are free, that the devotees come for the Master's darshan. M. has been let off at half past one, and at three he arrives before the Master at the Kali temple in Dakshineswar. In these days Rakhal and Latu are nearly always with the Master. Today Kishori came two hours earlier. The Master is seated on his small bedstead inside the room. M. comes in and prostrates himself before him. The Master asks after his welfare and then brings up Narendra.
