Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Didn't someone post a story here recently about a group of "learned Brahmins" who went ashore on a remote island and taught a group of "simple people" how to worship God "correctly"? The people were so filled with devotion for God and so filled with longing for the Truth and the Brahmins felt puffed up with their own importance as they corrected the pronunciation of the "simple people". Then, as the Brahmins pulled away from the shore in their wooden boat, a group of the simple island people came running across the water saying, "wait! wait! we have forgotten the proper pronunciation of the Beloved God's name...please tell us the correct way once again" sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
