Today on the
occasion of Janmashtami, I have just one
thing to say, ‘Leave me and grab hold of the Bhagavad Gita.’ You will be redeemed. Why do you harass me over
every trivial matter? Have I committed a crime by being born in India? On what
basis have you people confined the man who in his entire life span of 108 years,
did not get attached to any place, thing or person even for a moment, to temples
built in every home, nook and cranny? If you can’t be free, so be it, but at least
set me free! Why am I, who always soared like a free bird in the open sky
during my lifetime, being put under house-arrest after death? If you can learn
something from my life, then please do… Else, at least have mercy on me.
