Talk 101.A gentleman from Ambala asked: What is the rationalistic explanation of Draupadi’s sari becoming endless?M.: Spiritual matters cannot be fitted into rationalism*. Spirituality is transcendental. The miracle was after Draupadi had surrendered herself. The secret lies in surrender.

More Over Verse 468 Of Guru Vachaka Kovai Says,In ancient days the chaste lady [Draupadi] had her honour saved and her sari lengthened by the Grace of Lord Krishna only when at last, letting go of her own hold on her sari, she lifted up both her hands in complete surrender to Him; and the strong wicked one [Duchasana] who was stripping her fell down abashed.

Sadhu Om: So long as Draupadi was trying to hold her sari by her own hands lest it should be stripped off and was calling Sri Krishna for help, His Grace did not begin to function. But as soon as, having complete faith in His gracious protection, she gave up holding her clothes with her own hands and lifted them above her head,

her surrender became complete and hence His Grace began to function by making her sari grow unendingly and by making the wicked Duchasana, who was stripping her, fall down in a swoon.This incident is pointed out there in order to instruct us that we should give up the sense of doership and should thus surrender to God completely and unreservedly.
