knowledge? He is the ocean of love and sympathy. We didn’t know how to ask him for it. How is he affected thereby? He kept his treasure hidden safely in Arunachala as if it were his own house. How striking are the actions of Mahatmas! He always fixes his gaze on /tthrough the window. He never becomes unaware of this hidden treasure even for a moment. Is it possible for people like me to find out that treasure? He bestows it on us only when we acquire the requisite merit. It is said that gifts according to one’s deserts should be made, and seed according to the nature of the soil should be sown. Though we possess among us such a Bestower as our Guru, we are not able to attain that Treasure, the reason being our
own incompetence. What do you say? Is it not true?
