A SADHU STORY.

Pushkar, 07-03-1995. Again I felt restless this morning and went to the Brahma temple to have an early morning smoke with my new friend, the sadhu that guards the temple. He even serves me chai and chapatis. Told me this amazing Lord Braham story this morning. BRAHMA REACTED THE WORLD, BRAHMA CREATED THE HOLY COW, BUT FELL IN LOVE WITH HER, HE CHANGED HIMSELF INTO A BULL AND WENT AFTER HER FULL WITH LOVE AND LUST, TO ESCAPE HIM THE COW TURNED HERSELF INTO A BIRD, BRAHMA TURNED HIMSELF INTO A MALE BIRD, THE COW THAN TURNED INTO A TREE, BRAHMA DID THE SAME, THE COW TURNED HER FORM AGAIN AND EVENTUALLY WENT THROUGH ALL STATES OF CREATION, SPARING NO SACRIFICE BRAHMA FOLLOWED SUIT TURNING INTO ALL THE STATES OF CREATION AS WELL. I sat there stunned and my drugged mind desperately trying to understand the hidden message in his story, trying hard not to look like yet again a stupid foreign tourist......not even bothering to hide his triumph, he explained BRAHMA FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS OWN CREATION, EVERYTHING COMES AND EVERYTHING GOES, ONLY LOVE REMAINS, DESPITE THE INFINITE NUMBER OF LIFE FORMS ON THIS WORLD, AT THEIR BIRTH OF EXISTENCE AND AT THE MOMENT OF THEIR DYING AND ALL THE TIME BETWEEN, THERE IS ONLY ENERGY AND ENERGY IS LOVE.
