"Strong, Very Strong!"

Three or four days ago, when I was walking, I saw so many people. I saw Jyotsna first, and then it never ended! While coming back, I saw Sulochana there at the same spot. In between, I saw many, many disciples.

At one point, a little five-year-old boy was saying to me, "Strong, very strong!"

Then his brother said, "I want to be strong. I want to be strong." He began showing me his muscles.

They were both using the word 'strong'. Their mother was very short and thin. Either these little boys have seen me on television or their parents have told them about my weightlifting. From both of them I received that compliment: strong.
