Inspiring story

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

An old Farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with

his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early

sitting at the kitchen table reading his Baghavat

Gita. His grandson wanted to be just like him and

tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day

the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the

Baghavat Gita just like you but I don't understand

it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I

close the book. What good does reading the Baghavat

Gita do? "

 

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in

the stove and replied, " Take this coal basket down to

the river and bring me back a basket of water. " The

boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out

before he got back to the house. The grandfather

laughed and said,” You’ll have to move a little faster

next time, " and sent him back to the river with the

basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but

again the basket was empty before he returned home.

Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was

impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to

get a bucket instead. The old man said, " I don't want

a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're

just not trying hard enough, " and he went out the door

to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy

knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his

grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could,

the water would leak out before he got back to the

house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and

ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the

basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, " See

Grandpa, it's useless! " " So you think it is useless? "

The old man said, " Look at the basket. " The boy looked

at the basket and for the first time realized that the

basket was different. It had been transformed from a

dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and

out. " Son, that's what happens when you read the

Baghavat Gita. You might not understand or remember

everything, but when you read it, you will be changed,

inside and out.

 

That is the work of Krishna in our lives. "
