Amal Kiran arrived in Amrita's office carrying the sixth volume of Amrita's Old Long Since. In a little while, Amal asked Chinmoy to hand him the dictionary.Amrita: Amal, you, too, need a dictionary!
Chinmoy: Not in the least. He is a walking dictionary.
Amrita: Amal, what Chinmoy says is perfectly true.
Amal: Amrita, I am not a walking dictionary, but a limping dictionary. As I need a cane to move about, so do I need an Oxford or a Cambridge for my mental support.
Amrita: Then the limping dictionary certainly needs only a pocket dictionary.
Chinmoy Kumar Ghose, Amrita: the fount of nectar-delight, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 1972
