Secret of Spiritual Success - Implicit faith


Once Krishna and Arjuna were going together along the open road.

Seeing a bird in the sky, Krishna asked Arjuna, "Is that a dove?"
Arjuna: "Yes, it is a dove."
Krishna: "Is it an eagle?'
Arjuna replied promptly, "Yes, it is an eagle."
Krishna: "No, Arjuna, it looks like a crow to Me. Is it not a crow?"
Arjuna replied, "I am sorry, it is a crow beyond doubt."

Krishna laughed and chided him for his agreeing to whatever suggestion was given.

Arjuna said, "For me, your Words are far more weighty than the evidence of my eyes; you can make it a crow, a dove or an eagle and when you say it is a crow, it must be one."
