Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Tales of transformation from "What is Enlightenment" "You cannot conceive of the majesty and dignity I felt while begging. The first day, when I begged from Gurukal's wife, I felt bashful about it as a result of the habits of my upbringing, but after that there was absolutely no feeling of abasement. I felt like a king, and more than a king. I have sometimes received gruel at some house and taken it without salt or any other flavoring, in the open street, in front of great pandits and other important men who used to come and prostrate themselves before me at the ashram, and then I wiped my hands on my head and walked on supremely happy and in a state of mind in which even emperors were mere straw in my sight. you can't imagine it. That is why kings have given up their thrones and taken to this path". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
