all, everybody slowly moved out from there silently, but being a new witness for the first time, I hidingly stood behind a tree and went on watching that what Gurudev was doing?
For fifteen minutes he went on humming, moving and shaking the head, giving the beats of rhythm. As soon as the humming stopped, he started writing something. After the writing was over, he raised his voice :
"Call Dinu Babu."
The hummed and written song was taught to Musician Dinu Babu. The next day, all children of the Ashram went on singing that song.
I was carefully observing all this humming process of Gurudev. But I did not have courage to ask him that "What happens to you on such occasions ?". However, some years passed off and afterall I did ask him:
"What happens to you Gurudev, when you do this humming ?"
Gurudev replied, "I cannot express elaborately that what happens to me. I also cannot tell, why and when it happens. Sometimes this humming takes place all of a sudden spontaneously. At that time it seems that as if in far off invisible sky, someone is singing song. I do not understand what is being sung. That's all that, that unseen singer goes on singing and singing and I copy his tunes, move my hands, feet head and....... then emerge the WORDS. I do not make afterwards any change in the words following my overwise scholarly knowledge. I accept them as Gift of God......
Getting some indication of the mystery of Gurudev's humming, Gurudev's poetic experience & expressions, I went on pondering over the Glory of God again and again.

IN EAST BENGAL
In early days, Gurudev was sent by his father to East Bengal to look after his estate of land. One day Gurudev was telling the tale of these days to one of his intimate friends and I was listening to it:
"I was residing in East Bengal. Several times, for days together, I did not speak anything at all with anybody. Because of this Miracle of Silence, best of my stories and poems sprung up."
