| Alexander the Great wanted to take an Indian sannyasin to his own country; the name of that sannyasin was Dandami. But Dandami was not willing to go. Alexander drew out his sword and threatened him saying, “I will cut you to pieces if you do not agree. Even the Himalayas would have to come with me if I ordered it.” Dandami said, “Maybe the Himalayas would go with you, but you will not be able to take me...” --Osho Finger Pointing to the Moon, ch. 13 |
