About this episode
आश्रमे गुरुः प्रतिदिनं प्रातः अष्टसु दिक्षु नमस्कारं करोति स्म । तत् दृष्ट्वा कश्चन शिष्यः अष्टानां दिशानां नमस्कारस्य उद्देशम् अपृच्छत् । तदा सः सर्वाः दिशः किं किं तत्त्वं सङ्केतयन्ति इति वदति । दिग्भ्यः नमस्कारार्पणम् एवं विशिष्टेन उद्देशेन भवति इति ज्ञात्वा इतः परम् अहमपि दिशः नमस्करिष्यामि इति अवदत् शिष्यः ।

In the ashram, the Guru offered salutations every morning to the eight directions. Seeing this, a disciple asked the purpose of bowing to all directions. The Guru explained that each direction symbolizes certain principles, and salutation to them is done with a special intent. Understanding this, the disciple said: “From now on, I too will bow to the directions.”
