NANDALAL BOSE

'I'll take Care Of Him'

Nandalal had one worry. Would his elders approve the path he had chosen? His father-in-law went to Abanindranath. He was worried whether an' artist could earn enough to support his wife and children. "Don't worry about Nandalal. I'll take care of him" assured Abanindranath.

One opinion Abanindranath used to express often: The disciple does not become an artist because of teacher; the disciple has to shape himself into an artist. But the Guru takes care of the disciple just as the gardener takes care of the sapling.
