CHAPTER 5. FOLLOW NO ONE BUT YOURSELF
I told him, ”Leave Krishna aside, think of yourself. Can you be satisfied with less than sixteen
thousand women?”
He was a little startled and said, ”What do you mean?”
I said, ”Whether Krishna had sixteen thousand wives or not is not that important. What is important
to know is that every man longs to have that large number of women, that less than that won’t
do. And if I come to know for sure that Krishna had sixteen thousand wives, the man in me will
immediately assert himself and begin to demand them too. And we are afraid of that man inside
us, imprisoned in us. But it is no good fearing him and running away from him. He has to be
encountered. He has to be known and understood.”
We will discuss it further tomorrow. Now prepare for meditation.
