Bhagavad Gita Simplified

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - 1988

"Shri Krishna was Yogeshwara. He was Yogeshwara, he was so detached that
once his wives, who were his powers, said that,"We want to go across and
worship a particular saint." He said,"Alright, why don't you go?" They
said,"No, the river is in spate and we don't know how to cross the
river." He said,"Alright, you go and tell the river we want to go and see
such and such saint and Shri Krishna has said you calm down. If Shri
Krishna is Yogeshwara and if he has had no wife then you go down."

So they went to the river and said that,"If Shri Krishna has had no wives
and he is a Yogeshwara then please go down." And the river went down. So
they were very surprised, that "He is supposed to be our husband and still
he is Yogeshwara. He is also detached!" They crossed over and they went
and worshipped the saint. So the saint said,"Now you can go back." When
they were coming back, they found again the river was in spate. So they
went back to the saint and said,"Now how do we go back?" He said,"How did
you come?" He said,"Shri Krishna said that 'you go and ask the river if I
was a Yogeshwara, then you go down.' "Alright, so you go and ask the river
that the saint did not eat anything whatsoever and he was absolutely
detached about it, so the river will go down." So they were surprised
because they had fed him, he had eaten everything, he had done
everything. So they went to the river and said,"Oh river, the saint never
ate anything, he was absolutely detached about food, he didn't touch the
food." And the river went down. So they were surprised,"How is it the
saint ate verything and did not eat anything?" It means he was in
'Aswadha', he was not involved into the food, he was detached and they
were surprised. It looks like a lie from a human point of view, it is
not. It is not. That is the fact. He is a Yogeshwara and he is so
detached. So people don't understand Divinity and they think that how can
it be a person who has 16.000 wives and five other wives can be a person
who is not yet married? Because he was Yogeshwara. That is what you all
have to be is Yogeshwaras."
