Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Lord Rama and the Frog !!!One day, when Lord Rama was walking in the forest, He was stopped by His devotees, both men and animals, who were praying for a close ‘darshan ‘of the Lord. They all fell at His Lotus Feet in ‘padanamaskar’ . Lord Rama was overwhelmed by the devotion of His subjects and He involuntarily let go of His bow. The bow sadly landed on the tiny leg of a frog, who was also a big devotee of the Lord. However, the frog was mesmerized by the sight of the Lord. He was so very lost in the contemplation of the Lord that he neither saw the bow landing on his limb nor did he feel any pain. After a few minutes and when Lord Rama decided to resume His walk, He lifted the bow. Only then did He painfully notice that it was crushing the little leg of the frog. “Oh frog!†said Lord Rama with tears brimming in His beautiful eyes “Why didn’t you draw my attention to this careless action of mine? Why didn’t you scream? Why didn’t you call for help? â€â€œOh Rama, You are the self-luminous inner light of the Self!†answered the frog with outpouring love “if somebody else had trodden on my leg, I would have called your name- ‘RAMA! RAMA!’ But You are my Atma Rama and I am attached to You. So when YOU are the one who is trampling on my leg, whose name am I going to call?†The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS!
