Lesson: True power comes from within
A disciple saw his guru meditating before a burning lamp. Curious, he asked,
“Guruji, what is the greatest power of a yogi?”
The guru said nothing but placed his hand over the flame.
The disciple gasped, seeing that his master felt no pain.
After a while, the guru spoke,
“Just as this flame does not burn me, no external force can disturb an awakened soul. A yogi's power is not in strength but in absolute awareness.”
From that day, the disciple stopped seeking magic and instead focused on mastering his own mind.
