Lakshmi also related the following incident: “One night the Master was filled with the spiritual mood of Radha and had so identified himself with her that he decided to go to the arbour to meet Krishna. Coming out of his room, he entered the rose garden. He had no outward consciousness. He soon got caught in the rose bushes and was scratched all over from the thorns, and there he stood. The night watchman found him and woke us. At once I went to the temple manager and brought him there. Many others, awakened by the noise, crowded around. Aunt also came there and burst into tears. This was the first time that she was seen in public. When the Master was carried to his room, he said: ‘I am going to the arbour. Why are you troubling me? Let me go.’ After this, Aunt and I began to sleep in his room. A couple of days later, however, he said to us: ‘Why are you suffering this way? It is so hot now. You had better sleep in the nahabat.’ We obeyed.” (Source: They Lived with God)
