"Nolini-da, I have written a poem on Amrita-da. I would be extremely grateful if you would translate it into English."

"What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong, but if you would translate it I would be very glad, grateful and proud."

"In that case, leave it here on the table." Smiling, he said, "Sincerity always pays."
