Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 Once a yogi was giving a talk at the Kumbha Mela in India. As he was talking, a snake came out in fromt of everyone. This snake had red ants crawling all over him, and the red ants were biting him. The snake's skin was hanging off its body. Upon seeing this, the yogi laughed, and some of the audience were surprised. "Why are you laughing at this poor creature? Don't you have any compassion?" The yogi replied, "You don't understand. In his last life, this snake was a guru, but he accepted his disciple's service for his own sense gratification. Now his disciples are getting back at him." (I think this is from Srila Prabhupada) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
