It was towards the end of the year 1983 that a young Australian student telephoned me for an appointment, and later came and saw me. He had read I am That and also Pointers From Nisargadatta Maharaj, and wanted to talk to me about Maharaj and his teaching. He said he and some friends of his were staying at an Ashram some forty miles from Bombay.

He sat with me for more than three hours that morning, and his hunger for information regarding Maharaj and his teaching seemed insatiable. My wife offered refreshment which he accepted gratefully thus confirming my suspicion that he had had nothing to eat since he had his breakfast at the Ashram quite early in the morning before leaving for Bombay- the journey by the overcrowded bus and local train took him more than three hours. Before leaving he asked if he could see me again soon and bring some friends with him. I said I would be happy to see him and his friends as often as they wanted because, ever since Maharaj had first authorized me to talk about his teaching and later, just two days before his physical death, commanded me to do so- this has been the most satisfying thing in my life: writing and talking about Maharaj and his teaching, both of which seem to happen effortlessly and spontaneously.
