Paragraph 47

In plain words

"But the kitten cannot lay hold of its mother by itself. It lies there and only cries mew, mew! It is all as the mother does. The mother puts it now on the bed, now on the roof behind the wood; the mother carries it in her mouth and sets it down here and there; it does not know how to catch hold of its mother. In the same way some sadhakas cannot do any sadhana by reckoning it out—I shall do so much japa, so much meditation, and so on. He only weeps and weeps with longing and calls on Him. He, hearing his weeping, cannot hold back any more, and comes and shows Himself."
