Lesson: True tapas transforms reality
A yogi named Rishi Agastya wanted to cross the Himalayas to visit the divine land beyond. But the mountains were too high, and the journey seemed impossible.
So, he sat in meditation for years, channeling his energy.
One day, the mountain bowed before him, splitting a path open.
Seeing this, Lord Shiva himself appeared and blessed him, saying:
“A true yogi does not conquer mountains; he transforms them through patience and wisdom.”
The path he created is now known as the Agastya Valley, and even today, it is a pilgrimage site for seekers.
