27<br />

life where Buddha instructed his pupil Ananda<br />

as follows:<br />

There are four types of horses. The first<br />

type of an adamant horse will not budge an<br />

inch however much it may be thrashed with a<br />

whip. The second type of horse will run so<br />

long as it is continued to be whipped and will<br />

stop <strong>the</strong> moment <strong>the</strong> whipping stops. The third<br />

type of horse will begin to run just at <strong>the</strong><br />

cracking of <strong>the</strong> whip. The last and excellent<br />

type will begin to run just on seeing <strong>the</strong><br />

shadow of <strong>the</strong> driver's hand moving towards<br />

<strong>the</strong> whip.<br />

Ashtavakra himself says ""A person of<br />

pure intellect is able to realise his Self even<br />

through casual instructions while o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

continue to wallow in <strong>the</strong>ir delusions despite<br />

a lifetime of enquiry and exposure to<br />

elaborate instructions. 2 Hence Ashtavakra<br />
