GOD IN EVERYTHING

[Guest guest]

Hello friends,

 

 

 

Here is a story that Sri Ramakrishna Parahamsa told his disciples .There

was a sadhu ( saint ) who lived in a town . He used to beg in

the streets and lived with the thoughts of God .One day when he was

walking he saw the king's men severely hitting a thief , tying him

to a roadside post .The thief had robbed something and the king's

men were giving him punishment . On seeing the pain of the thief the

sadhu's heart melted in love .He went to the king's men and asked

them why they were so harshly beating the thief and asked them to

forgive him .The king's men got irritated on this .They untied the

thief , tied the sadhu to the post and started beating him heavily

..The treatment was very severe to the poor sadhu that he became

unconscious .The king's men left the place . The news reached the

fellow- sadhus and they came to the place immediately ,took the

unconscious saint to the ashram .There they gave him treatment . After

a long time the sadhu was slowly regaining his consciousness .One of

the fellow- sadhus was pouring milk into the mouth of the saint . To

check whether he came to full consciousness the fellow-sadhu asked ,

" Swami do you see who is pouring milk into your mouth " .For this

the saint replied " The same person who hit me is pouring milk into

my mouth " .This is a beautiful vision of the saint .His heart was so

moulded that he was able to perceive God in everyone .And it is true

that it is the same God who puts us in troubles and it is He who

stretches His loving hands later .

 

Baba also tells " EVERYTHING IS GOD .EVERYONE IS GOD " .

 

Although this state of mind is difficult to be attained , we have to

practice it to the least possible extent atleast . This will give us

greatest peace and greatest bliss in due course .
