Each time the gum sat for worship with his students the ashram cat would
come in to distract them, so he ordered them to tie it when the ashram was
at prayer.
After the guru died, the cat continued to be tied at worship time. And when
the cat expired, another cat was brought into the ashram to make sure that
the guru's order were faithfully observed at worship time.
Centuries passed and learned treatises were written by the guru's scholarly
disciples on the liturgical significance of tying up a cat while worship is
performed.
Some said the Cat signifiedan evil and dirty sprit.
Some even graduated with PhDsthanks to the Cat.
