As the mother bird protects her fledglings, so the Master guarded his young disciples from various evil influences. One day at Dakshineswar the Master said to Baburam: “I can’t touch you today. Did you do anything wrong?” “No, sir.” “Then why can’t I touch you?” After a while Baburam remembered that in the morning while chatting with his friend he had said something which was not true. He confessed it to the Master. Baburam realized that Sri Ramakrishna’s life was established in truth, and that truthfulness is the key to God-realization.
