One winter Swamiji went to Deoghar as a guest of Priyanath Mukherjee accompanied by Swami Niranjananda. One day, while taking a walk with his brother disciple, Swamiji saw a man lying helpless by the side of the road writhing in pain. Swamiji moved closer to the man and found he was suffering from acute dysentery. He felt the man needed immediate medical treatment, but first, he must be moved from road side. But where to take him? He thought of Priyanath's house. However, Swamiji himself was a guest, how could he take this unknown man there? Priyanath babu might be offended. He thus hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind to serve the helpless man at all costs. So, with the help of Swami Niranjananda, he brought the man to Priyanath babu's house and placed him on a bed, cleaned him thoroughly, clothed him and began to apply hot fomentations. As a result, the man soon recovered. Instead of being vexed, Priyanath babu filled with admiration for this wonderful expression of Swamiji's love.
