Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 An interesting story narrated in Chapter 6 " Fascinating Ramana " of Book " Moments Remembered " by Shri V.Ganesan. Quote: One evening Poigai Alwar, on his pilgrimage reached Tirukoilur and took shelter in a very small and narrow room. It became dark and he had just enough space to stretch himself. After some time another man arrived and asked whether he could come in. Poigai Alwar joyously got up and accommodated him, not knowing who he was, saying " space for one to lie down, but enough for two to sit up! " . After some time a third man came and wanted some space to stay. The two occupants gladly got up and welcomed him, saying " Plenty of space for one to lie down, for two to sit up and for three to stand " . The three did not know each other, but were exchanging ecstatic descriptions of the Lord. Lord Vishnu had tricked the three saints to meet on this narrow passage, in order to bless them and also to partake their jubilation. So He created a sudden dense darkness and very heavy rain. Also He assumed a huge form and entered that small room. The three saints immediately felt the new Presence which caused no physical congestion but heightened their jubilation. They wanted to see who it was. Unquote: The three saints in their efforts to find the " intruder " sang three songs explaining their ecstatic state of mind. Quote: The three saints recognized each other and were thrilled to know that it was Lord Vishnu who had made them meet in that place only to revel in His name and Glory sung by them ! Unquote: Love and Love alone... P.Gopi Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
