On the way to Karwar, Amma’s camper and a few other cars had pulled a little ahead of the nine-bus caravan. Then, just before sunset, Amma suddenly asked that they pull over and inquire if there was a nice beach somewhere nearby. As Amma was speaking through her camper’s side-window, a stray dog suddenly wandered on the scene, wagging its tail. “Poor thing, it is hungry,” Amma said. “Give him some food.” Swamiji brought some sweets, which Amma then took into her hands, rolled into three balls and handed back to Swamiji. Swamiji then went to place them on the ground, but Amma stopped him, “No, no, no!” she said. “Give it on a plate.”
