Once when Swamiji was leaving Dakshineswar, he told the Master that he would visit him again the following Wednesday. The Master asked, ‘What time?’ and Swamiji replied, ‘At three o’clock.’
The following Wednesday, Swamiji arrived at Dakshineswar at two o’clock and waited outside the gate. He did not come to see the Master then, as he had promised to see him at three o’clock. The Master was talking to devotees in his room.
When he was informed that Swamiji was waiting outside the gate, he asked the devotees to wait, and he walked towards the gate.
When he saw Swamiji, he said: ‘Hello, Naren. When did you come? Why are you standing there? What happened?’
Swamiji replied: ‘Sir, I promised you that I would come at three o’clock, but I left home earlier and when I arrived here I found that it was two o’clock. For the sake of truth I am waiting here.’
The Master was very pleased to hear that. They remained there talking for some time, and then at three o’clock Swamiji went with the Master to his room.
