Bhagavan Ramakrishna's short stories - Two yogis
BHAGAVAN RAMAKRISHNA'S SHORT STORIES
TWO YOGIS
Two yogis were doing their tapas in order to see the God. One day, Sage Nararadha went past them. One of the yogis asked Naradha whether he was coming from Vaikunta? The sage replied as "yes". Then the two yogis asked Naradha what the bhagavan was doing at that time? Naradha said "Bhagavan was playing and enjoying making elephants and camels to go through the eye of the needle forward and backward". For that, one of the yogis said it was no wonder and Bhagavan would definitely do to such things. There was nothing in the world that the bhagavan could not do. However, the other yogi said that it was foolish to say such things. He also said that showed the sage had not gone to Vaikunta ever and definitely not coming from there.
The first yogi's faith and devotion on the Bhagavan is like that of the child to feel that there cannot be anything in this world, which the bhagavan cannot do. We should understand that Bhagavan's many gunas cannot be understood also. Whatver is said about the Bhagavan will fit in aptly.
