Contd...

 

Once, the Swami gave a discourse in the woods of Koothanur village. The day was

quite hot. A snake suddenly wound its way through the audience and moved below

the Swami's seat.

 

Some of them requested the Swami to move away. The Swami said, " A man becomes

eligible to embrace the ascetic life only when he earns the Jnana that all forms

are verily the Lord. There is no difference between my body and that of the

snake. It is verily Lord Nrisimha who is the Atma in both. Why fear? All of you

sit quietly and listen to the Lord's story. "

 

But is it possible for the people to forget the presence of the snake and listen

to his discourse? So, the Swami, through his yogic power, held their attention.

The people totally forgot about the snake and were engrossed in the discourse.

At the end of the discourse the Swami asked one of them, " Where is the snake?

See if it is still here? "

 

The man feared lifting the seat to find out. The Swami laughed and lifted the

seat only to find the snake gone. All were wonderstruck. The Swami said, " This

is not surprising at all. The snake went back the way it came but all of you

were totally engrossed in listening to the Bhagavatam and did not notice it! "

 

The people at once prayed to him to bless them so that their minds would always

be engrossed in the Lord's stories in this manner.

 

!!! Will Continue !!!
