Dog

After studying at his Master's feet, the intensity of Eknath Maharaj's devotion grew immensely. One story, in particular, stands out for me. He once sat down under a tree to eat his lunch. He opened his lunch box and as he was about to break off a roti(Bread), a stray dog ran to him, snatched the roti and ran away. Eknath Maharaj ran after the dog, "wait, take some ghee(Sweet) with the roti, it might be too dry!" Such was the intensity with which he saw Panduranga in every living being.
