From ~ Face to Face with Ramana Maharshi

*From ~ Face to Face with Ramana Maharshi*

A gentleman from Kashmir came to the Ashram with his assistant who could not speak a word of any other language except his native Kashmiri. One night when the Hall was almost dark except for the pale glimmer of a single hurricane lantern, the assistant came into the Hall and stood before Bhagavan, in a respectful manner jabbering something rapidly in his language. Bhagavan said nothing but lay quietly gazing at him. After a while, the assistant saluted and left the Hall. 

Next morning his master came to Bhagavan and complained:

"Bhagavan, you never told me you could speak Kashmiri, was it fair?"

 When Bhagavan asked how he thought so, he said:

"Last night my assistant came to you and asked several questions in his language (Kashmiri). He tells me that you answered him in the same language and cleared all his doubts."

 "But I never opened my mouth", replied Bhagavan.
