Paragraph 87

In plain words

"When samadhi comes, all work falls away. Work of worship and japa and the rest, worldly work, all of it drops off. At first there is a great to-do about work. The further you go towards God, the less the show of work becomes, until even the singing of His name and glories stops." Then, to Sivanath: "As long as you had not come to the meeting there was much talk of your name and your virtues. But the moment you arrived, all that talk stopped. Then it is joy enough just to see you. People then say, 'Here is Sivanath Babu!' and all other talk about you stops.
