Paragraph 6

In plain words

Today is the new moon: Saturday, the twenty-fifth of Chaitra, the seventh of April, 1883. The Master came to Balaram's house in the morning and has had his midday meal here. He had asked Balaram to invite Narendra, Bhavanath, Rakhal and one or two other devotees, and they too have eaten here. The Master used to say to Balaram: "Feed these boys, and it will be as good as feeding many holy men."
