(HH KKS 12/06/1999) In India I saw a drawing, it was a little serious, it was a drawing of a frog. What’s so serious about a frog? Well this particular frog was in a somewhat precarious position because a snake had crawled up from the back and it had half swallowed the frog. And you may have never seen this in Stockholm, maybe on TV, they swallow them whole, they don’t chew them up first. He swallowed the frog with the mouth slowly going around the frog. So the front of the frog was still sticking out. Then a little fly went by the nose of the frog and his tongue shot out to catch the little fly...Who is the frog?! Who is the snake?! That’s the question.
The snake is time and the frog is the living entity who is trying to enjoy all kinds of opportunities that fly by his nose although he is already half eaten by the snake...depending on the age, lets say 35-40 already that means half eaten...only 25, not yet half but at least the hind legs are half digested...75, you can imagine the eyes are still sticking out and the tongue and the rest is in the snake but this little bit is sticking out still catching flies. 80, you don’t even see the frog anymore but the tongue is sometimes coming out!
Like this the serpent of time is doing it’s work, it’s doing it very silently and only sometimes do we notice it: No I’m not getting old, well maybe a little bit but not really but sometimes do we notice it, boy I’m getting old! It is a fact, time is doing it’s work and sooner or later every living entity will have to experience that. So the Yogi he is interested in uplifting himself in consciousness...that is his business. Now the whole exercise of this particular Yogi who went in a box trying to protect himself from this illusionary energy is really too much work, it’s not required, there is an easier system and that system is just eat in Govindas! By eating in Govindas the same result can be attained as what the Yogi attained because it’s a another type of Yoga it is not necessary that one locks oneself from the world...No,.... one can stay in the world. ................so Yoga is actually a process by which one can conquer the influence of the material energy and one can rise above and come to a different level of consciousness...
