A certain Sadhu lived for some time in a room in the temple of Dakshineswar. He did not speak to anybody and spent his whole time in meditation on God. One day, all of a sudden, a cloud darkened the sky, and shortly afterward, a light wind blew away the cloud. The holy man now came out of his room and began to laugh and dance. Upon this, the Master asked him, ” How is it that you, who spend your days so quietly in your room, are dancing in joy and feeling so jolly today? ” The holy man replied, “Such is Maya that envelops this life! No trace of it was there before; but suddenly it appears in the serene sky of Brahman, creating the whole universe, and is dispersed by the breath of Brahman.
