Shri Tribhuvandas of khambat sought to spend a few hours in Shrimadji's presence every time he visited Mumbai,going to Shrimadji's place for the purpose.
On one of these occasions, he found Shrimadji asking his daughter Kashi who was just three years old, 'Who are you?' just for fun.
Kashi replied, 'I am Kashi,' Shrimadji said, 'No, you are atma, the soul.'
At this Kashi spoke out, 'No,I am Kashi for sure.'
Meanwhile, Tribhuvandas happened to turn up there.
Shrimadji now said to him, 'This little girl is hardly three years of age, and the impression of her being given the name Kashi, is only recent, of a very short duration.
Yet when you tell her she is in truth the atma, the soul, she immediately protests, insisting no, she is Kashi.
Well, such is the state of ignorance...'
