And this is Maya

[Guest guest]

Once Narada said to Krishna, " Lord, Show me Maya. " A

few days passed away, and Krishna asked Narada to make

a trip with him towards a desert, and after walking

for several miles, Krishna said, " Narada I am thirsty;

can you fetch some water for me: " I will go at once,

sir, and get you water. " So Narada went. At a little

distance there was a village; he entered the village

in search of water and knocked at a door, which was

opened by a most beautiful young girl. At the sight of

her he immediately forgot that his master was waiting

for water, perhaps dying for thewant of it. He forgot

everything and began to talk with the girl. All that

day he did not return to his Master. The next day, he

was again at the house, taking to the girl. That talk

ripened into love; he asked the father for the

daughter, and they were married and lived there and

has children. Thus twelve years passed. His

father-in-law died, he inherited his property. He

lived, as he seemed to think, a very happy life with

his wife and children, his fields and his cattle, and

so forth. Then came the flood. One night the river

rose until it overflowed its banks and flooded the

whole village. Houses fell, men and animals were

floating in the rush of the stream. Narada had to

escape. With one hand he held his wife, and with the

other two of his children; another child was on his

shoulders, and he was trying to ford this tremendous

flood. After a few steps he found the current was too

strong. and the child on his shoulders fell and was

borne away. Acry of despair came from Narada. In

trying to save that child, he lost his grasp upon one

of the others, and italso was lost. At last his wife,

whom he clasped with all his might, was torn awayby

the current, and he was thrown on the bank, weeping

and wailing in bitter lamentation. Behind him there

came a gentle voice, " My child, where is the water?

You went to fetch a pitcher of water, and I am waiting

for you; you have been gone for quiet half an hour. "

" Half an hour! " Narada exclaimed. Twelve whole years

had passed through his mind, and all there scenes

happened in half an hour! And this is Maya.
