Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 The Guru's Miracle A Guru and his beloved disciple were sitting together. The disciple had heard of other yogis showing miracles. He had the utmost reverence to his Guru, and was sure that his Guru can also show such miracles. But, he had never seen or even heard anyone say that his Guru showed any miracle. He wanted to see his Guru show some miracle. They were alone. Using this opportunity, the disciple asked the Guru to show a miracle. Knowing well the purity and reverence of the disciple, the Guru opened his clenched fist. Lo!! There was a big shining gold coin. The joy of the disciple knew no bounds. He was so proud of his Guru. He took the coin in his hand and rubbed it, weighed it and felt so happy. He exclaimed, " It is a REAL gold coin. " The Guru calmly replied, " No, it is not real. It is an illusion. " The disciple said, " No. I can feel it. I can weigh it. I can even bite it. " He picked up a small stone on the other hand and said, " The coin is as real as this stone. " The Guru said, " The stone is also not real. That is also an illusion. " In a moment, the disciple's mind and body became still. Breath stopped. There was a soft smile on his face. Both the stone and the coin slipped off his hands. He was face to face with the Reality. He realised that he was pure Being. He realised that everything else was an illusion. After a few minutes, he slowly opened his eyes. Tears trickled down his cheek. He slowly bowed down to the feet of his Guru. The Guru had shown a miracle. -- ---------- Email: gomu Phone: +91 80 6689904 Webpages: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1863 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/2973 ---------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
