r.niverse was dancing too. Dance for hours did not in the
leaFl fatigue him. Bhagawan, who was not till then
aeeusiomed n* dancing, also joined them. "Wioever newly
came to the hills could hardly resist dancing. God's Name
resounded through the hills, producing an atmosphere
pregnant with blissful thrills.
17i the nights some devotees who possessed a sweet
vidce sing to the beats of a hand-dram, songs of Kabir and
Banara?!. The kirtan would proceed far into the night, till
t «TJ or three early morning. Ramkinkar, finding the hills
a "we-inspiring, especially when he was told that tigers
reamed ak>ut in the nights, refused to stay with him, and
retcmed to the town with the visitors. Within three or

fverytiine he alighted on the lover rock safe on all fonrs
l!fe* *a ape, Life and body were held by him light as straw.
