NEITHER 'YES' NOR 'NO'!

THE husband of a young girl has come to his

father-in-law's house and is seated in the drawingroom

with other young men of his age. The girl

and her friends are looking at them through the

window. Her friends do not know her husband

and ask her, pointing to one young man, "Is that

your husband?" "No," she answers, smiling. They

point to another young man and ask if he is her

husband. Again she answers, "No." They repeat

the question, referring to a third, and she gives the

same answer. At last they point to her husband and

ask, "Is he the one?" She says neither yes nor no

but only smiles and keeps quiet. Her friends realize

that he is her husband.

One becomes silent on realising the true nature of

Brahman.
