Yesterday I happened to read a simple but very effective story and can't stop sharing. It's about a school boy Hari who lived in a small village with his mother. Hari had to cross a jungle everyday while going to and coming back from the school. He was dead scared to walk through the jungle and finally told his mother one day that he shall not go to the school anymore. On knowing the reason his mother said, "My dear son, don't be scared in the jungle, you have an elder brother there, his name is Krishna. Whenever you feel scared or helpless just call him and he shall come to your rescue." Hari felt quite relieved. The next day when he reached the jungle, his hearbeats started soaring up. Suddenly he remebered his mother's words that his brother Krishna was there to help him. Hari called, "Hi brother", there came a sound “Hi brother”. Then Hari said, "I am here", and there came the voice “I am here”. Hari's happiness knew no bounds on listening to his brother's replies.
He went to school and the class teacher asked all the students to get different dishes for the whole class the next day. Hari was told to get curd for the entire class. He felt very low thinking that it was quite difficult to get two square meals for two people at home, how will he be able to get the dish for sixty people. Worriedly he left for home, and on the way he remembered his mother's words again about his brother Krishna. On reaching the jungle he called Krishna saying, "Oh brother! Where are you? Please come here soon, I need your help." No sooner he said that, Krishna appeared there and reassured Hari that he shall get a bowl of curd for all his class-mates tomorrow. Hari had a big sigh of relief.
The next day on reaching the jungle Krishna was ready with a bowl of curd. On seeing the small size of the bowl Hari felt a little dejected, but thanked his brother and went to the school. When he reached the school, even the teacher gave an awkward look when she saw the small bowl. When they start serving the children, to everyone's amazement, the quantity in the bowl remained unchanged. Every child was served from the dish brought by Hari & given by Krishna and the curd still remained intact in the bowl.
Those of us who know about Lord Krishna's friend Sudama's experience of rags to riches on meeting his friend the Almighty Krishna and the tale of Sudama's rice can relate the above story immediately.
The story is nothing but about -
Being in unison with The Almighty
As in the above story, even an echo of one's voice appeared to be His reassurance and undaunting faith made Him come to the child's rescue. Yes, faith and love can make the impossible possible.
