Paragraph 23

In plain words

Vidyasagar, all in a bustle, sent someone for water and asked M., "If we bring some refreshments, will he eat them?" "Please do, sir," said M. Vidyasagar went in himself in a hurry and brought some sweets. "These have come from Burdwan," he said. The Master was given some to eat, and Hazra and Bhavanath had some too. When they came to give some to M., Vidyasagar said, "He is a son of the house. We need not trouble about him." The Master was telling Vidyasagar about a young devotee who was sitting there in front of him. "This boy is truly good," the Master said, "and he has real substance within, like the river Phalgu: sand on top, but dig a little and you see water flowing underneath!"
