dattaswami Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 A true deserving person do not expect anything… If you take the example of Kuchela [sudama], he never begged any person and did not beg even God. He was forced by his wife to beg Lord Krishna. He went to Lord Krishna but did not ask anything since he knows that Lord is omniscient. He stayed in the house of Krishna for a few days and returned back to his home. Krishna did not give a single rupee even though He observed the extreme condition of poverty of Kuchela. If you are in the place of Kuchela, you will certainly scold Krishna at least in your mind during your return journey. Kuchela did not entertain even a trace of such idea in his mind at any time. The omniscient Lord Krishna was constantly observing the mind of Kuchela during his return journey. The Lord was extremely pleased since no such idea could enter the mind of Kuchela. Therefore, the Lord gave immense wealth to Kuchela. The only donation done by Krishna in His entire life was this only. The Lord was waiting for such a deserving person. You compare yourself with Krishna. You do donations in hasty way without patience to catch a deserving receiver. You go to Varanasi on the day of Maha Shivaratri and you are in hurry to return back by next day. You think that your donation in a particular place at a particular time only becomes fruitful. You are captured by such false illusion and donate to an un-deserving person in that place on that day. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
