The little postman folded his hands supplicatingly. "Gurudeva," he said in alarm, "no more initiations, please! How can I assimilate any higher teachings? I have come today to ask your blessings, because the first Kriya has filled me with such divine intoxication that I cannot deliver the letters!" "Already Brinda swims in the sea of Spirit." At these words from Lahiri Mahasaya, the other disciple hung his head. "Master," he said, "I see I have been a poor workman, finding fault with my tools."
