Hai folks,

Once upon a time there lived a great sage(guru).He travelled around the world preaching good to the people.He was very humble & always walked on foot.One early winter morning he was going through a forest with one of his disciples.On the way,they came across a river.There was a beautiful young woman standing at the river.She requested the sage to help her cross the river as she is very afraid to step into the freezing cold water.The sage lifted her in his hands & carried her across the river.The woman thanked him very much and went her way.

The disciple who was witnessing all this couldn't digest the fact that his guru( master) touched a young woman when he always preached to be away from woman & earthly possessions.He wanted to ask his guru but hesitated.They continued walking.

Next morning, the disciple came to the sage to ask him but again hesitated.The sage then asked him the matter.Finally, the disciple spoke out his mind.

Can u guess what the sage replied to him????

He said....

"I dropped her yesterday morning itself, but my dear son! have you been still carrying her"

It means:
The sage is very pure at heart & he carried the woman only to help her & forgot it then itself.
But the disciple couldn't properly understand his master & the real meaning of his teachings.
No one preaches not to help a person.Only because it was a woman asking for help, the master cannot just ignore her request.The disciple was ignorant of this fact & had been worrying all this time.He could have clarified it then itself.But he didn't.So,it was indeed the disciple's mistake & he was carrying the woman all this time in his head.
