In the afternoon I said to Amrita-da: "Yesterday I saw you fetching water from the tap and carrying the water jug into your room. There are so many young boys and girls who would be I happy and proud to be of service to you. Please allow me to bring water for you every day."

"Chinmoy, it seems that you will not allow me to take even this little exercise. All right, starting tomorrow you have a new job. Come inside; I will show you where to put the kuja (water jug)."
