1C2 IN THE VISION OF GOD
"Follow me, both of yon," he said.
They obeyed. He escorted them directly to a Hindu
restaurant in the harbour, ordered tea and eatables for
both, -while he sat on the bench in front observing them.
He paid the charges of the tiffin and they followed him
back to the deck. Except for the first few words that he
spoke, he was perfectly reticent. Thereafter, again until
the steamer whistle sounded annonncing departure from
the port, the policeman was quietly looking at Ramdas
from his position by the railing. He was somewhat disturbed
•when he had to leave the boat. With many a backward
glance he finally jumped down on the dock. The Steam-
boat left the port.
Intimation had been sent from Mangalore about the
date of Ramdas* arrival in Bombay. In Bombay he found
himself in the blessed home of San jivrao—blessed because
both Sanjivrao and his wife were embodiments of love.
They simply deluged bim in their over-flowing love.
Many neighbours in the chawl and others from ontside
came to see him and engaged him in talks on the greatness
of God and His JTame. Evenings were spent in devotional
music. Throughout his stay at Sanjivrao's he enjoyed pure
ecstasy.
Time to leave Bombay at last came. He started with
Ramcharandas by the night train and reached Angar station
in the afternoon next day. At the station he was greeted and
embraced with exceeding joy by G-ovind Joshi who was
waiting with milk for him. After partaking of the xrdlk
they proceeded on foot to Anjangaum. Before sunset they
reached the outskirts of the village where in advance
hundreds of the village people were eagerly looking for-
ward to his arrival. He was taken in procession to the
house of Itadhavrao "who welcomed Him with rapturous
delight.
