The Story Of Swami Rama
CHAPTER IV
THE FRAGRANCE THAT SUSTAINED
HIM
IN the exposition of the fundamental thoughts of
his life, he wrote his journals called "Aliph" in
Urdu, with a rich treasury of quotations from
Urdu, Persian, Sanskrit and English poets and
prophets; he gave lectures and talks in America,
again explaining these truths in a hundred ways,
illustrating himself by numerous stories and
anecdotes from Indian mythology and life. His
English speeches in America are amplifications of
his theme in this book "Aliph," and his whole life
was consumed from day to day in burning itself as
the torch of this divine knowledge. The following
quotations from his collection taken at random
from his Urdu book "Aliph," and, turning over its
pages, rendered off-hand into English, as given
below, give us a sufficient gauge of his mind and
its treasures, the intimacies of its thoughts and the
comprehensiveness of his intellect. The following
quotations are but a handful of grain out of the
heaped bushelfuls that the Master has garnered.
