Do not be credulous always use commonsense: There was a wild rumour in Hardwar that a Hermit vomited a crow in Rishikesh. So, many people came from Hardwar to see the fun. They went to the Hermitage of the Hermit and enquired what the matter was and asked: “Did you vomit the crow, Oh Santji” The Hermit said: “I suffered from fever for the last ten days. I took some Ayurvedic medicine from Kali Kambiliwala’s Ayurvedic Dispensary. I am very bilious owing to the improper functioning of the liver. I vomited yesterday morning and brought forth some black matter. They might have spread a false rumour. That is all.
The Hermit said i never vomited a black crow.” Do not be credulous. Always use commonsense and reasons. The Hermit vomited. That much is certain. He brought forth some black matter. That is also the truth. This turned into the wild rumour that he vomited a black crow! Such instances are quite common. They are all cock and bull stories. They are bazaar “gups and gossips”.
Never believe them. These rumor and gossips bring about misunderstanding, unrest, quarrels and disputes. Allow them to pass at once through the other ear. You must not be credulous. You must always reason out. The process of ratiocination is indispensable for Jnana Yoga. Credulous men are quite unfit for the path of illumination.
