krsna Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Once, there was a guru, who was brushing his teeth, when all of sudden a disciple came rushing in and said, "Gurudeva! Gurudeva! You will never guess what I have just seen! It was amazing! There was a man, and he was flying in the sky! He was actually flying up in the air! Woosh!" Now, as the disciple was carrying on like this, making a complete spectacle of himself, his guru-maharaja simply continued to nonchalantly brush his teeth, and eventually remarked, rather casually, that this is not important. "But gurudeva, did you actually hear what I said? I'm not making this up. He was flying," the disciple persisted. He insisted that this was a significant event in his life, and continued to persist, yet all the while, the guru kept brushing his teeth, sometimes calmly and rationally interjecting, that this was not at all important. After some time had passed, and even while the disciple was still carrying on like this, the guru literally began to levitate, and then flew all around the room. As he was actually floating in the air, the disciple, who was presently carrying on like a madman, then regained his senses and noticed that his guru-maharaja was actually flying, just like the man he was formerly so impressed with. His mouth suddenly dropped open. At this point he was ready to listen. When the guru descended back down to the ground, he explained that the important thing is devotion to God. This will bring about the greatest ecstasy and fulfill the purpose of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maadhav Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 << " My dear Friend, if you desire to enjoy the company of material society, friendship and love, then please do not go to see this smiling boy Govinda, who is standing on the bank of the Yamuna and playing His flute, His lips brightened by the beams of the full moonlight. " >> A great devotee has said something like this about panduranga in pandharpur: "do not go to see panduranga. if you do, you will fall in such intense love with him that you will loose all the wordly interest in life."

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I believe flying is one of the siddhis that man can acquire on his journey to realizing God. Why trivialize it by talking about such mundane things as people flying in airplanes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
