Discipline on the Hill

Mama Hippolyta had actually lost a lot of weight and was looking healthy. The cubs had verified this fact.
Earlier, little Spotty had been telling them how this happened, and since it was very hard to believe, therefore they had to go bouncing over to Rumple and Crumple's to see if this had actually happened.

Spotty had talked of how Mama Hippo had sat in Bhagavan Ramana's presence praying to Him to help her lose some weight. And one point, Bhagavan looked into her eyes. She felt something at that moment. When she returned she found her appetite had reduced considerably. And she had confided in Spotty that with losing weight, her devotion for Bhagavan was increasing by leaps and bounds. The more her mind focussed on Bhagavan, the less interest she had in bingeing.

Spotty then said he told Mama Hippo that if we focus our minds on Bhagavan with love, our attachments and longings will reduce. And at the same time, Bhagavan will be able to take over and look after the things we release and surrender to Him.

Mama Hippo had said she had never heard such a beautiful thing, but Spotty was quite sure that it was only that she was now more receptive. Spotty then told the cubs that Bhagavan is always shining, it's up to us not to cover Him with our egos.

Bhagavan does not hide from us, we hide from Him, Spotty said quite emphatically.

Then Mum Lioness announced that is was time for all little cubs to have their nails clipped and filed or else she might have to have a word with Bhagavan!
There were groans and excuses. (Some cubs possibly wanted this matter to be escalated to Bhagavan, so they could sit on His lap and get a loving scolding from Him!). But then Spotty told his brother cubs that if they did not cut and file their paw nails some "innocent cweechers could get scwatched", and hearing that all the cubs immediately lined up and put their little lion paws forward.
