Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH AMMA SAYS - STORY Devoted Worship Once there was a famous devotee. A man from the next village heard about him, and therefore came to see him. The visitor waited outside in the front yard of the house. At that time the devotee was performing his worship sitting in the shrine. The man who came to see him looked in and found that he was worshipping Ganesha. At the same time the visitor dug a hole in the ground. Next, the devotee worshipped the Guru. The visitor dug another hole. Then the devotee offered worshipped Lord Subrahmanya. Then again the man dug another hole. Then the devotee worshipped Lord Shiva, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Kali, each separately. As each deity was worshipped, the man outside continued digging more holes. After finishing the puja, the devotee came out and saw so many holes all over the yard. He asked, "What is this; why are there so many holes dug here?" The visitor said, "I wanted water and so I dug everywhere, but I didn't get any and therefore wasted my time. Had I dug one hole deep enough, I would have found water by this time." The devotee understood. If he had compete faith in any one of those deities, he could have attained Liberation long ago. :: AMMA SHARANAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
