I am the servant of the servants of the servants of Buddha. Who was there ever like him?-- the Lord -- who never performed one action for himself -- with a heart that embraced the whole world!
So full of pity that he -- prince and monk -- would give his life to save a little goat! So loving that he sacrificed himself to the hunger of a tigress!-- to the hospitality of a pariah and blessed him!
And he came into my room when I was a boy, and I fell at his feet! For I knew it was the Lord Himself!

Sayings and Utterances
(Swamiji had a vision of Buddha in meditation
during his college days.)
