Yogi

There was a man named Shishupal who found 101 faults in Krishna, and on the other hand there was Arjuna to whom Krishna was the Lord, the ‘Yogi of yogis.’ The Gopis, the milkmaids of Vrindaban, also regarded Him as their Lord. They loved him so much that He appeared to each Gopi in the form which please her most. The same Lord of the Universe, whom even advanced yogis can’t see in meditation, used to play with Gopis and eat the butter and milk which they offered Him. Nowadays, people wonder when Lord Krishna will come again. Who knows how many times He has come already! There has never been an era, there has never been a time, when the Great Powers didn’t come into this world. One saint said, “Don’t befooled by the external appearance of a teacher, but ask about the Knowledge that he gives. Find out the value of the sword and don’t concern yourself with its sheath.” You’ll find all kinds of sadhus, including those who live at cremation grounds, but they are not true yogis. A yogi, a person who can reveal spiritual Knowledge, is very rare.
