Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Little Kannan aged six years was alone in his house when his mother went ouut on some errand, after finishing her preparation of 'Thiru-Adirai-Kali' and 'Koottu'. The boy was closely attetive to all the activitie of his mother and was particularly amused by the pounding of the fried rice in the mortar.No sooner dhad his mother left than he saet about his business. With all his childish ignorance and enthusiasm he emptied the pot of 'Kali' into the mortar and started pounding away with all tha strenth of his little hands; after some time he got tired and hungry. He was disappointed in not getting the nice rice flour; all that he got for his trouble was spashing of the paste on his face and eyes.He started crying when presently his mother returned.She hugged and consoled the child and said: 'Alas!my drear child'!Why di you not quietly sit down and eat that 'Kali'? Had I not already completed all the work for you? The child sat down and enjoyed that pudding blissfully.That was all was left for him to do. With tears in his eyes, Sri Krishnamurthi Aiyar concluded: " Maharshi's darshan is the endpoint of all sadhanas. Why commit the grave blunter of going back to the old sadhanas, when Bhagavan has cooked the 'Kali' redy for us to eat? Let ua drench and drown our selves in Eternal Ramana's downpour of Grace!
