90. The yogi who stopped the cyclone
Sri Ramakrishna tells a beautiful story. There was a yogi who somehow achieved a siddhi which gave him the power to stop the natural movements of air in the environment. But unfortunately, his body and mind were not mature enough to handle this power in the right way.
One day there was an intense cyclone. The yogi saw that many boats in the sea were getting rocked because of the strong winds. Due to his immature cognition, the yogi decided to intervene, and he stopped the cyclone suddenly using his power. Because of the sudden stop, many boats overturned and people were drowned. The karma of all those people's deaths came to the yogi. and the power which he had also left him.
On the spiritual path, don't have the greed for attaining powers before your body and mind are mature enough - it can be dangerous for you. Understand that your guru knows what to give, when to give and how to give. So drop the greed and the comparison: you will get everything you wish for once you are ready.
