One day Rakhal was very hungry and mentioned it to the Master. There was no food in his room, so the Master went to the Ganges and called loudly: “Hello, Gaurdasi! Please come. My Rakhal is hungry.” After a short while Gauri-ma and Balaram arrived at Dakshineswar by boat with rasagollas (cheese balls soaked in sweet syrup). Immediately the Master called: “Come, Rakhal! They have brought rasagollas. Come and eat. Didn’t you say you were hungry?” Embarrassed, Rakhal blurted out: “Sir, why are you talking about my hunger in front of others?” “What does it matter?” said the Master. “Since you are hungry, you should eat. What is the harm in saying so?”
