Once Ramakrushna Paramhansa asked his wife why a particular delicacy had not been cooked? His wife was also his disciple. Teasingly, she said, “People are waiting outside for a Darshan (spiritual glimpse) and Swamiji is still attached to the food.” Baba replied, “ There is no attachment of any kind left for me to live in this world. Hence, it is with the support of this small attachment that I am spending my life.” As is said, “One who is about to drown may find succour in clutching even to a straw.” Similarly, true saints may maintain a deliberate attachment to a tiny object and remain in the physical form in this world to provide spiritual guidance to the people.”
