Bhagavan Ramakrishna's short stories - Two yogis


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.
