A holy man and his disciple were about to cross a riverbed when they noticed a young woman at the opposite bank hesitatingly trying to cross it. The holy man crossed the riverbed without a moment’s hesitation, lifted the woman and carried her safely across to the other bank.

The disciple was puzzled at the action of the holy man - who had taken a vow of chastity. After waiting for 3-4 days he couldn’t contain his curiosity anymore and asked the holy man about it.

The holy man replied “I left that woman at the bank long time back. You seem to be still carrying her in your mind”!
