"I am also Bhagavan"

... I (Annamalai Swamy) had tried to give Bhagavan some nungus (palmyra fruit). ... When Bhagavan came past, He looked at me suspiciously and asked several times, "Why have you come here?"

After some hesitation, I told Bhagavan, "I came here to cut and give these nungus to Bhagavan." Bhagavan accepted the fruit, but said at the same time, "You should have eaten them yourself, and while you were eating them you should have thought, 'I am also Bhagavan'."

Bhagavan then dug out many of the fruits and with His fingers sucked the juice. Finally after exclaiming, "Appadi*! I cannot carry the stomach", He walked away.
