Guest guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 " Wisdom, power and devotion is sanctioned by God only to the worthy, " said saint Gyaneshwar. Hearing this, a lady reacted sharply, " " Then where is the greatness of God? He should scatter his grace equally on everyone! " " The saint kept quite and the discussion came to an end. The next morning, the saint sent for a stupid person and asked him to go to the lady's home and request her to lend all her ornaments. He did the same. The lady scolded him and immediately turned him away. After some time, saint Gyaneshwar himself went to the lady and politely requested her to lend her ornaments for a day. Without asking a single question the lady opened her safe and happily gave all her ornaments. Now, returning the ornaments, the saint asked, " " In the morning another person had come to you with the same request, why did you turn him away? " " " " How could I give my valuable ornaments to an unreliable person? " " , the lady retorted. Saint Gyaneshwar smiled and said, " " Dear sister, when you can't entrust your ornaments to a person without considering his worthiness, then how can God bestow His priceless divine blessings upon unworthy people? " " Our worthiness is tested repeatedly to assess our capacity to receive God's grace.
