she was just of 7 years.the Text matter:


It was during this time (1942) that the decisive event of my life occured, something that has stayed with me ever since. As I don't remember the exact external details, leave it to my father who once told the story this way:


[ In the years when we were living in Madras,] I often brought my family and business collegues to the ashram on weekends. Out of all the people I brought, the Maharshi seemed to be particularly fond of my daghter. She had learned Tamil quite well during her time in Madras, so she could converse with him in his native language. They used to laugh and play together whenever we visited. On one of my visits she sat in front of the Maharshi and went into what appeared to be a deep meditative trance. When the bell for lunch went, i was unable to rouse her. The Maharshi advised me to leave her in peace, so we went off to eat without her. When we came back she was still in the same place in the same state. She spent several hours in this condition before returning to her normal waking state.


Major Chadwick had been watching all this with great interest. After her expereince ended, he approached the Maharshi and said, " I have been here for ten years, but have not had the experience like this. This seven-year old girl seems to have had this experience without making any effort at all. How can this be?'


The Maharshi merely smiled and said,
' How do you know that she is not older than you ? '
