ONCE, a young sannyasin went to a house to beg
his meal. He had embraced the monastic life from
his very boyhood and so had not much knowledge
of the world, A young lady came out from the
house to give him alms.
Seeing her breasts, the young sannyasin questioned
her if she was suffering from boils on her chest. To
that her mother replied: "No, my son, she hasn't
got any boil. A child will soon be born to her, and
so God has provided her with two breasts to
suckle the child. The child will suck milk from
those breasts after it is born." No sooner did the
young sannyasin hear this than he exclaimed: "No
more will I beg my meals.
He, who has created me, will feed me too."
