121. Mellifluous

Madal:

Chinmoy, I shall be extremely happy if you can learn how to play on the flute. Your harmonium does not have mellifluous tones at all.

Chinmoy:

Madal, I don't disagree with you. True, my harmonium does not offer any sweetly flowing tones, but it has been my most faithful friend. I don't want to have a new friend at this old age. My childhood friend is dearer than the dearest and sweeter than the sweetest.
