88. Rishi Jadabharata and the baby deer
There is a story in the traditional literature of Hinduism; the story of Rishi Jadabharata. This rishi was staying on the banks of a river. He had renounced all worldly pleasures and was meditating for enlightenment.
One day he saw a deer giving birth to its baby on the riverbank. Soon after giving birth, the mother deer died. Seeing the helpless orphaned baby deer, the rishi was overwhelmed with pity. He started taking care of the baby deer:
Gradually, the rishi started getting attached to the baby deer. Slowly, slowly, the attachment grew so much, that even at the time when he left the body, Jadabharata was continuously thinking about the deer, worrying about the deer, wondering what would happen to the deer after his death. Because of this strong attachment, the rishi was reborn as a deer and came back to live with the deer.
The uninterrupted flow of mind towards one object had happened in Jadabharata. But finally what was the result? He had to take birth as a deer and come back to live with the deer. That is not meditation! Meditation happens when the mind which is meditating and the object of the meditation, both lose their boundaries. When the boundaries are lost. you experience Samadhi. the extraordinary powers and siddhis and realization.
