When this body was twelve years old, I was in Subbamma’s house. I asked her to stitch a long gown for Me. She did no like it. She said, ‘Why do you want to wear a gown? You can wear Dhoti. I replied, no; time has come to do it’. She obeyed Swami’s command and stitched a gown for Me. Its cost was two Annas at that time. When I put on the gown, she requested Easwaramma to come to her house to see Me. She came, saw Me and started shedding tears saying, ‘Swami, did you call Me here for seeing this form of Yours?’ I told her, ‘Don’t grieve, I am setting an ideal for the whole world. When one’s wears the Ochre robes, one’s evil desires will vanish’. They were satisfied to hear this. (SSS Vol.34, pp. 298-299)
