A guru and his disciple were returning to the ashram in the evening after a discourse. A river came in the middle and a beautiful lady was standing in the bank of the river unable to cross the river.
She pleaded them to help her. The Disciple said 'No' but the Guru went up and lifted her and left her on the other side of the river, and continued his way to the Ashram.
The next day the disciple said to the Guru "Sir, as monks, we cannot touch a woman ?"
The Guru answered "yes"
Then the younger monk asks again, "but then Sir, how is that you lifted that woman on the riverbank ?"
The Guru smiled at him and told " I left her on the other side of the river, but you are still carrying her."
