Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
of Asvatthama. Krishna said, “If the child be touched by one eternally celibate (nitvabrahmachari) the child would be brought to life”’ Even Suka dared not touch the child. Finding no one among the reputed saints bold enough to touch the child, Krishna went and touched it, saying, “If lam eternally celibate (nityabrahmachari) may the child be brought to life.” The child began to breathe and later grew up to be Parikshit.
Just consider how Krishna surrounded by 16,000 gopis is a brahmachari! Such is the mystery of jivanmukti! A jivanmukta is one who does not see anything separate from the Self.
If however a man consciously attempts to display siddhis he will receive only kicks.
