dialouges between Rahuguna and jadabaratha---from bagavatham

soldiers of Rahuguna got a peculiar yogi, who was sturdy  and they thought he was without any job. they wanted him to carry the yadu king on the palanquin as the fourth man. he did not object. his mind was always in the supreme reality. there were many twists and turns, and the king was very uncomfortable.he commented in a mocking way to baratha"you are so thin, and walks so fast,it seems u have not eaten for a long time." jadabaratha understood  the arrogance of power.. he replied you insulted a  avadhuta  like me who is not bothered about wealth or power. i am not taking your insult. since i am not the body or mind i  am alpervading atman. but i would like to  remove this differences of raja and bruthya bava. do you think that those who are carrying  you really love you. they love your wealth. do not be carried away by their external behavior. if they really love you , even in sleep and dream state they should respect you. you know well that in  sleep  and dream state there is no difference between a king and a beggar. because of kama and artha they obey you in prajnya avastha(awkening state). but this is only one state.  you intended that i am not walking fast. let it be known that  my body is not walking. my legs are walking the way they want. iam not really walking , since my atma is always not connected with the body or mind.  i am the all pervading atman.there is no raja brithya bava  in other two states of dream and sleep. only in awakening state you see the differences. therefore i am not  your servant.  i am a master unto myself.. the king was astonished from the truth given by jadabaratha. he came down from palanquin and fell down at yogi"s feet.supreme reality does not differentiate servant or emperor.
