A PROFESSOR'S APPRECIATION: A Gujarati lady who had long been a silent

admirer of the Master, arrived with an American professor, Dr Frederick

Spiegelberg, Ph.D.



The doctor explained his mission to India and said that he had visited

all the main Ashrams in the country. He particularly mentioned

Anandashram at Kanhangad, the Ashram of Sri Swami Ramdas.



"Swamiji, have you ever met Sri Swami Ramdas?"



"No."



"He has a very high regard for you. He spoke so highly of you and your

attainments that I was all the time very eager to meet you personally."



After the evening Satsang which the professor attended, it was hard for

him to take leave of the Master for the night. "Swamiji, I have seen

many saints in India during this tour, but what I greatly admire in you

is that you have not the slightest trace of an inferiority complex from

which the others seem to suffer. You are so outspoken. And you are so

full of humour that you capture our hearts. Humour is a thing that is

very often lacking in philosophers and saints, too. That spoils

everything and makes it dry pedantry." "Swamiji," said a disciple, "is

a musician, a dramatist and a dancer, too. You should see him dance! He

is a fine actor. He has dramatised the Upanishads. People who were

unable to assimilate the Vedantic truths contained in the Upanishads

have now clear ideas after reading his Upanishadic Drama, which has

been appreciated also by our Governor General, Sri C. Rajagopalachari."



"Have you read my Philosophy in Humour?" asked the Master.



"No, I would very much like to."



The Master then read a few poems from the above book. The professor and

the lady were beside themselves in mirth.



"You ought to sing these songs in America. You will revolutionize the

entire country. People will be simply swept off their feet. America

needs this kind of instruction--simple and delicious. And the way you

sing these precious instructions, it is simply marvellous!"
