21 December
Laljibhai handed a large envelope to Amrita-da for the Mother."Ah, it is a fine envelope. So big!" said Amrita-da.
"Since it is for the Mother, it must be sent properly," said Laljibhai.
"When it comes back from the Mother, it will be kept sacredly."
"Ah, Amrita-ji, you have become a poet. I said properly, and you said sacredly. It is a good rhyme. It seems that you have become a poet overnight."
"So you see how bright my future is! Unfortunately, nobody cares to know the poetic genius in me."
