What happened with the scorpion while the author was listening to a holy story?

While the author was deeply engrossed in hearing the Ramayana, a scorpion unexpectedly appeared on his shoulder. As detailed in Chapter 22, everyone was so absorbed in the holy narrative that the scorpion itself seemed to be a still and attentive listener, not moving at all. Instead of reacting with fear and violence, the author recalled Baba's firm command not to kill. He carefully gathered his upper cloth, trapped the scorpion inside, and released it unharmed in the garden, demonstrating great restraint and faith in his Guru's teaching.
