One day, I sitted here like five years back - all my staff in this ashram having no food. I have a huge good publicity here - lot of wealthy students. What Baba order, “Don’t take money from anybody unless they have to give you with their own heart.” “Ok, that’s fine.” Then after, I’m in my silence - my program for one week. I didn’t notice, but my children, they’re bringing food to me in my cave. Later I came here, there is a big rock. I sits here like four days, like four to five days - there is no food to my children. All my devotees coming just their asking, “Swami is here?” They’re putting flowers, some people they’re not bringing anything - they’re going out.
My children’s, they’re little crazy - they don’t want to go and beg somebody. There is some small rice, made it grind, make like a cream, like a rice cream. You know rice cream, rice powder - they’re drinking. Everybody’s so, like seems to very sick, I came. Anthony came, “I’m so hungry. If you have some money just give to me.” He’s a little smoker. He’s like little luxury candidate. There’s nothing. Then on that night I sit myself in the swing, not swing, on the rock, “Hey what is this? You can put me hungry - why you putting like my childrens so hungry here? Why should I do your seva?” Like a so, so frustration.

Then at the time, I have a car. I decided to sell that car to get some money. Then next day early morning, Kenji Abe - he’s the first man. He came with big fruits, a rice, bag of vegetables. First time he came he brought that things to me. There is no tradition to bring the rice, vegetables, fruits anywhere in India. There is a tradition to bring fruits and flowers.
If I ask even in the village, like a tons of food - I can get it? Then he brought, simply he came. You know he’s walking like that - how we say that, limping and came with big smiling face, “Are you Swami Kaleshwar? I want talk to you. Oh, you do some miracles I heard.” Then, I didn’t hearing his voice - I wondering what he brought. “Hey just what you brought?” Just I put it a signal to my driver Anthony, “look.” Then he’s so happy. Then I gave a - at the time - first hug to him very powerfully. “You are like a Hanuman, you came to me.”
