| I have known people... for example Muktananda's master, Nityananda. He could not do anything other than lie down flat because his belly was so big; and to carry it here and there, it was such a heavy load a crane must have been needed! So he used to just lie down flat; and when I saw him, I could not believe my eyes. His belly was so big – almost like a mountain – with a small head on this side, and two small legs joined on the other side... --Osho The Rebel, ch. 10 |
