We Are Looking For Ourselves...

Shrimadji was visiting the small town of Kavitha. 


On one occassion He was accompanied by a number of other men on His daily walk. 


Shrimadji normally walked slowly and kept His eyes to the ground. 


After they had walked some distance, a woman passed by carrying a bundle of hay on her head. 


Since the woman often saw them, she started muttering to herself, that these banias are wandering all over the forests. 


She wandered what had they lost, that they kept looking for it. 


Shrimadji heard the woman's words and in His own inimitable way responded: 


"Sister, we are looking for ourselves!" 


This is a natural response from Shrimadji, who was so ardent in His quest to realize His soul.
