________________ 46 BHAKTI-YOGA. instead thereof, began to eat the mangofruit ! And was he not wiser ? So leave this counting of leaves and twigs and this notetaking to others. This kind of work has its proper place, but not here in the spiritual domain. You can never see a strong spiritual man among these "leaf-counters." Religion, the highest aim, the highest glory of man, does not require so much labour as leaf-counting. If you want to be a bhakta, it is not at all necessary for you to know whether Krishna was born in Mathura or in Vraja or what he was doing all through his life-time or just the exact date on which he pronounced the teachings of the Gita. You only require to feel the craving for the beautiful lessons of duty and love in the Gida. All the other particulars about it and its author are for the enjoyment of the learned. Let them have what they desire. Say "Shantih, Shantih" to their learned controversies, and let us eat the mangoes.
