Conversation between Sri Srikanta SAstri (SSS) and Sri narasimha SAstri (SNS) (purvASrama of Sri chandrasekara bhArati)
SSS: Narasimha our gurunath a has expressed his desire to give you sanyAsa and the adikaara of the preetha
SNS: I agree with the first but not with the second

SSS You are only willing to accept sanyAsa? When sannidhanam has nominated you as the peetAdipathi can you refuse
SNS: sannidhanam has hinted to me in the past only about taking sanyAsa
SSS : would he have asked to give only sanyAsa for a uttama siSya like you? When sanyAsa was

mentioned the peetaadikara was also implied.
SNS I don't have the desire to accept peetaadikara or the talent to administer
SSS if u don't have the capability would the gurus orders be such
SNS प्रविचारय तत्वात्मनः सुचिरम् is the order I have received from the Guru in the past

The purpose of sanyAsa was to enquire into the Atma not for the peetAdhikAra.
SSS as his SiSya you can take up the Aasrama and do Atma viCAra to your heart's content. what is the obstacle
SNS its the peetAdhikAra that is the obstacle. Wont there be many worldly affairs in it
SSS

You don't have to worry about it I will handle the worldly affairs I will ensure that your Atma vicAra has no obstacles Don't worry
SNS if there is facility created for Atma vicAra or Sastra abhyaasa and if you will take care of the worldly issues I will accept sanyASrama
