Years ago when I was in primary school, a teacher told us that yogis, rishis and others in this category, will not eat, drink or defecate. I never gave serious thought to this. Now in my adult years, I keep wondering whether those in the spiritual path have discarded their bodily functions. Bhagawan had apparently overcome this obstacle when, as a youngster, he was meditating for days on end without a break. Do all those in the higher plane conquer their bodily functions? Have our scriptures mentioned this area?
Thanks for any information.
