Swamishri was having breakfast in Houston. Yogi, a seven-year-old boy was looking at Swamiji with folded hands. Swamiji told a sadhu to prepare a dish for the little boy. A little while earlier Yogi had politely refused breakfast (offered by a sadhu) because he wanted to enjoy Swamiji's darshan. But at Swamiji's word, Yogi sat down for breakfast. Five minutes later, Swamiji and the sadhus finished their breakfast and got up. Yogi, seeing that he was on his own, started eating hurriedly.

Swamiji perceived Yogi's haste, went up to him, placed his hand on his head and said, "Don't worry, eat with ease, we are still here. Do you want anything?" Yogi heaved a sigh of relief. Swamiji's care and ability to understand children, reflects his love and concern for them.
