Subject: [K-list] Testicles never fall off a bull's body

> Subject: Re: Testicles

Quite aside from the topic under discussion,
merely taking the word "testicle",
I am reminded of a wonderful story.
This was narrated by Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
And, this is recorded in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.
A most extraordinary recording of the
lively conversations of the unlettered Spiritual Master.

"A fox was constantly following a bull.
  It was thinking that the bull's testicles to be a fruit.
  And, it was anticipating that it would fall off
  from its body at some time or other,
  so that it can eat the fruit.
  Morning to evening, it followed the bull.
  But, obviously, the testicles never fell off.
  So, after a day's toil, it had to leave its futile pursuit.
  Thus is the case of flatterers of rich men.
  No matter how much the flatterers praise,
  the rich men never part with their money.
  Like the testicles can never fall off a bull's body."

Sri Ramakrishna meant to say that
the worldly people will praise their fellowmen,
who in turn are as much slaves to sex and money
as they themselves are.
But, they will not praise God,
who is the only One deserving true praise.

Thanks and kind regards
RK Shankar
