Every day Chinmoy fetched water for Amrita at four o'clock. One day Chinmoy was late.Amrita: Chinmoy, I am dying of thirst. You know my name is Amrita, which means nectar. Since I am not fortunate enough to drink amrita, I have to depend on your water.
Chinmoy: I am sure, Amrita-da, you have drunk amrita quite a few times during your meditation.
Amrita: You are mistaken. Amrita is meant for the cosmic gods, and not for this mortal.
