Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 So one day 1008 shri swami Ghasitanandji Maharaj, visited a village. The villagers were very hospitable and kind and they requested swamiji to stay for night and accept their hospitality. In the night when swamiji was about to retire...a man entered the room and held feet of swamiji and started weeping. Swamiji asked him softly son what is the matter...tell me if i can help you. The person told," swamiji I am the most idiot person in this village. I have no knowledge,no education, no way of speaking hence all the village make mockery of me. In any gathering if i try to speak something all start laughing and tormenting me to keep quiet, because i am worth nothing having no knowledge of any scriptures, or any words of wisdom. Now the situation has to deteriorated that even children are laughing at me. Please give me some knowledge so that i can face the wise villagers. Swamiji smiled," so u know you are idiot....that is a great wisdom! OK from now onwards do not try to put forth any of your idiotic ideas...But if any wise man tell something QUESTION him. Like if someone say moon is looking beautiful, just cry at him ask him What is beauty....how moon is beautiful..prove it. If someone tells God is there challenge him to prove it...or if someone says God is not there...torment him to prove it..But remember do not put forth any of your ideas..just question them and see how they are puzzled. The idiot was very happy ...he thanked swamiji and left. After one year swamiji happened to pass from that village again and wanted to know if the idiot was able to follow his instructions. He called for him...He came well dressed..looking wise. He touched feet of swamiji and thanked him," Swamiji i am so grateful to you...you gave me such a wonderful wisdom...and i did the same. Today i am taken as the wisest person in village and they have made me headman of the village....Swami ghasitanand ki jai. Love baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
