A
steady stream of visitors poured from the world into the
hermitage tranquillity. A number of learned men came with
the expectation of meeting an orthodox religionist. A
supercilious smile or a glance of amused tolerance occasionally
betreayed that the newcomers anticipated nothing more
than a few pious platitudes. Yet their reluctant departure
would bring an expressed conviction that Sri Yukteswar
had shown precise insight into their specialized fields
of knowledge.
My guru always had young resident disciples in his
hermitage. He directed their minds and lives with that
careful discipline in which the word "disciple" is etymologically
rooted.
