"Greatest Self-Assurance And Stillness..."




Once when Shrimadji was on a visit to a place called Virsad near Dharmaj, he was crossing a narrow passage between two farms along with his followers and some disciples. 

Shrimadji and the rest of the party chanced upon a couple of bulls fighting fiercely, with their horns locked, standing right in the middle of their path.


Shrimadji's companions started running helter-skelter in panic, at the sight of the fighting bulls.

To them, Shrimadji said, 'Do not panic. The bulls will give up their fight and turn tamer when they draw close to us.'

But those standing around were not reassured, and ran into the fields nearby.

Shrimadji, held his own, rooted to the ground with the greatest self-assurance and stillness.

The two bulls calmed down as they drew near Shrimadji; they stopped fighting and then started moving away, finally disappearing.
