Ramana Maharshi compares animal Frog with a Yogi

[Guest guest]

Talk 324.

 

10th January, 1937

 

 

Sri Bhagavan said, “A frog is often compared to a yogi. It remains quiet for

a long time, the only sign of life being the rhythmic movement of the

under-skin below the neck.”

 

“Again frogs can remain for extraordinary long periods with their animation

suspended. They are said to swallow their tongues.Swallowing the tongue is a

yogic practice. The animation is suspended. The yogi does not die but the

tongue must be drawn out by someone else before life-activity is resumed. It

is a wonder how the frog brings out the already swallowed tongue and resumes

activity.”
