There was one very significant man in south India, Brahma Yogi, but he got distracted. He was able
to bring his breathing to such a harmonious state that doctors declared him to be dead. Because if
there is no breathing... and not just for a second or two; he was capable for ten minutes. Medical
science has its own limits. For ten minutes, no sign of breathing....
In Oxford, in Cambridge, in Calcutta University, in Rangoon University; he went all over the world.
He forgot completely the mission of his life, that he had been meditating to attain to his innermost
self. That’s how people get distracted – he became an entertainer, a showman. He earned much,
he became world famous. And the doctors everywhere were shocked. In every medical college of
importance in the world he was examined with all their refined instruments. They had to declare that
the man was dead, and after ten minutes he would start breathing again.
It was not that he was not breathing for ten minutes; he was breathing, but the breathing had gone
so slow that it was beyond the instruments’ capacity to capture its movement.
