Girish: "Please bless me, sir."
Master: "Have faith in the Divine Mother and you will attain everything."
Girish: "But I am a sinner."
Master: "The wretch who constantly harps on sin becomes a sinner."
Girish: "Sir, the very ground where I used to sit would become unholy."
Master: "How can you say that? Suppose a light is brought into a room that has been dark a thousand years; does it illumine the room little by little, or all in a flash?"
Girish: "Then you have blessed me."
Master: "If you sincerely believe it. What more shall I say? I eat and drink and chant the name of God."
