Facts and Figures about Sanatana Dharma, Saints and Sages…-1

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Impermanence of worldly life

 

Once, a person asked Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji,

unable to conceal his amazement, “Swamiji! I have read

about you and heard about you. One thing that I read

about you was most astonishing to me!”

 

Sri Swamiji asked “Oh! What is it?”

 

“I read that you used to spend the entire night

meditating in solitude in the graveyard”

 

“Yes! That is true. The graveyard symbolizes the

impermanence of everything of this world you hold

dear. What is it that amazes you so much about it?”

 

”Swamiji! Human bodies are cremated there. How can

you tolerate such a situation?”

 

At this point, Sri Swamiji’s face wore a smile “What

is so abnormal about that? Are you a vegetarian or

non-vegetarian?”

 

“Non-Vegetarian, of course”

 

I can tell you that you too, are comfortable in a

similar situation. You consume non-vegetarian food,

don’t you? Are you not quite comfortable in your

kitchen where bodies of animals are burnt while

cooking?”
