A fifteen-year-old youth approached a saint, requesting initiation into renunciation. The saint tested him repeatedly, and through the trials realized that the boy had mastered self-control. Then the saint blessed him, saying he would grant initiation. In time, that youth became famous as Mahatma Jnaneshvara.
