| One day as
usual he went a house and asked for alms. The lady of
the house came out. Seeing that he was a Yogi, the woman said: "Holy Sir, shall we
have a child at all?"
Matsyendranath gave her a little sacred ash and said:
"O lady, please swallow this. You will be blessed with a child."
The lady told her neighbour. The neighbour said: "Do
not believe these Yogis. Some of them are cheats!"
So the lady of the house threw the sacred ash away on a
rubbish heap at the back of her house, and forgot all about it.
After twelve years, Matsyendranath called at the same
house.
He asked the lady: "How is your child doing?" The
lady told him what had happened.
Matsyendranath asked for her: "Where did you throw the
ash?" |
