Power of a saint.

One day a saint in Ancient India decided to do a astral travel. He instructed his followers to lock his one room house from outside and only unlock it when he asks for it from inside.

His followers did the same. And he went deep into dhyaan and his soul left his body for the astral travel. Somehow his enemies got wind of his travel. They were already in need of a chance to wipe him off from the earth. And they now got the golden chance.

During night when his followers were asleep some of his enemies hired goons who set on fire his house. His followers tried their best to put off the fire and save his body but could not.

In the morning when the saint returned he found his body burnt and thus of no use now. But he wanted to address his followers for the last time. So he entered a parrot's body and told his followers about the significance of astral travel.

His enemies got so frightened by the talking parrot that they begged for mercy from him. The saint forgave all of them and lived for a quite long time in the body of parrot. And one day the parrot disappered leaving all thinking.
