Reminiscences of Swami Brahmananda by Swami Turiyananda
When Maharaj (Swami Brahmananda) and I were in Vrindaban, he had only coarse bread to eat. He would dance in ecstasy, and say: ‘How can I express my joy to you?’ And I had thought he was suffering from want of good food.
Maharaj hides his spiritual power. He won’t let himself be caught easily. But if you surrender yourself completely to him surely he will reveal God to you. He has that power. He is the embodiment of devotion. Since his boyhood his life was molded by Sri Ramakrishna himself. He is his eternal companion. You have read that in M.’s Gospel. … If he really longs for the truth of God, let him have the benefit of Maharaj’s holy company for some time. Then he may go wherever he pleases and pray and meditate.
When Maharaj found a pice that someone had lost, and showed it to the Master, the latter said: 'Why did you take it? You don't need it. Why would a person who doesn't want any fish go to the fish market and haggle about prices?'
