An extra– ordinary personality

With My Master
Acarya Krpananda Avadhuta

During His trial, Baba appeared in the court session. The judge asked Baba, “In which language should I record your statement?” Baba replied, “I know more than 200 languages — which do you prefer?” The judge was stupefied and sat silent. So Baba added, “If you don’t reply, then I will speak in English —with Cambridge pronunciation.”

Baba spoke and the judge wrote down the statement. The judge carelessly misplaced the commas and periods. Baba told the judge, “If you put the punctuation marks in the wrong places, then my statement will be distorted and give a different meaning.” Baba rectified him like a schoolmaster does his pupil. After Baba left, the judge was sweating. He told our lawyer, “I have never come across such an extraordinary per son as Mr. Sarkar!”
