I nodded. "Yes, he said he had the mental power to control pain sensations around the tooth which needed extraction.

And then he sat in the padmasana pose, meditated for a while, and said he was ready. and I went ahead and extracted his tooth without an injection." I said. "Can you believe it? He must be a true yogi!" "And you didn't charge him, I'm sure," Dr. Arun said. "No, that was the deal if I succeeded in extracting his tooth without the injection, the extraction would be on the house. Dr. Arun broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

"That guy is no yogi, but a fraud, a conman!" he remarked. "My clinic is just fifteen minutes away from yours. He came to my clinic, got the local anesthetic injection and quietly slunk away to your clinic claiming to have yogic powers." Gosh! To think that I had nearly fallen at his feet seeking his blessings!
