Words from the Master

Another beautiful story about Krishna and Arjuna:
One evening, Lord Krishna and Arjuna were spending time together.

Krishna suddenly pointed out to a crow and said, “Arjuna, look at that green crow!”
Arjuna saw in that direction and said, “Yes Krishna, I see it!”

A few minutes later, Krishna exclaimed, “Arjuna, see that black crow!”
Arjuna said, “Yes Krishna, I see it!”

Krishna asked just to test Arjuna, “Arjuna, how idiotic you are! There is no green crow ever. How could you have seen it in the first place?”
Arjuna replied, “Krishna, when you said it was a green crow, I saw it as a green crow.”

Arjuna’s very senses had surrendered to Krishna. Surrendering the senses to the Master is the most difficult surrender ever. The Master is Existence itself; he is the formless in form. When your senses perceive only what the Master says, you have reached the highest point in surrender.
