Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 A woman in a coma was dying. She suddenly had a feeling that she was taken up to SwargLok and was standing before Lord Vishnu. "Who are you?" a Voice said to her. "I'm the wife of the Chief Minister of Gujarat," she replied. "I did not ask whose wife you are but who you are." "I'm the mother of four children." "I did not ask whose mother you are, but who you are." "I'm a schoolteacher." "I did not ask what your profession is but who you are." "I'm a devout Hindu, who recited the HanumanChalisa , the Gayatri Mantra, the MahaMitryuanjan mantra, each 108 times daily, who fasted every Tuesday, every Saturday and on each of the 200 auspicious days every year." "I did not ask what is your religion or what you chanted, or when you ate/did not eat, ... but who you are." "I'm the one who went to Mandir every day, in fact I have prostated in front of all the 2 Jyotilings of Shiva, not a single temple of Maa Shakti has escaped my presence, from Kamakha to Tripura Sundari, I am the one, who while doing all this travelling never ceased to always help the poor and needy." "I did not ask what you did, or who you prayed to, but who you are." She evidently failed the examination, for she was sent back to earth. When she recovered from her illness, she was determined to find out who she was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
