During the course of his travels, Radhanath Swami had become quite attached to the spiritual books he carried. He had gradually gathered a small library in a cloth bag. Except for this heavy bag of books, his only possession was a begging bowl and a branch used as a walking stick. Many times he considered reducing the weight of this burden, but every time he looked through the books, trying to decide which ones to give away, he found he could not part with a single one.
