Paragraph 66

In plain words

"Thakurdada" came with one or two friends and bowed before the Master. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight and lived at Baranagore. The son of a brahmin pandit, he was training to be a kathak, a teller of the sacred stories. The burden of the family had fallen on his shoulders; for a while, in a mood of renunciation, he had gone off and no one knew where he was. He still practised spiritual disciplines.
