Paragraph 24

In plain words

Evening has come. The temple servant has lit the lamps in the shrine of Kali, in the temple of Radhakanta and in the other rooms. The Master sits on his small cot, meditating on the Mother of the Universe, and then repeating the name of God. Incense has been burnt in the room, and in one corner a lamp is burning on its stand. After a while the conches and bells sound out: the arati is going on at the Kali temple. The moon is ten days old, and her light is everywhere.
