Trust the Lord and have Patience...
Once there was a sweeper in a well known temple and he was very sincere and
devoted. Every time he saw thousands of devotees coming to take darshan of
the Lord, he thought that the Lord is standing all the time and giving
darshan and He must be feeling very tired. So one day very innocently he
asked the Lord whether he can take the place of the Lord for a day so that
the Lord can have some relief and rest.
The Deity of Temple replied, "I do not mind taking a break. I will
transform you like Myself, but you must do one thing, you must just stand
here like Me, smile at everyone and just give benedictions. Do not
interfere with anything and do not say anything. Remember you are the deity
and you just have faith that I have a master plan for everything.”
The sweeper agreed to this.
The next day the sweeper took the position of the deity and a rich man came
and prayed to the Lord.
He offered a nice donation and prayed that his business should be
prosperous. While going, the rich man inadvertently left his wallet full of
money right there.
Now the sweeper in the form of deity could not call him and so he decided
to control himself and keep quiet.
Just then a poor man came and he put one coin in the Hundi (offer box) and
said that it was all he could afford and he prayed to the Lord that he
should continue to be engaged in the Lord's service. He also said that his
family was in dire need of some basic needs but he left it to the good
hands of the Lord to give some solution. When he opened his eyes, he saw
the wallet left by the rich man. The poor man thanked the Lord for His
kindness and took the wallet very innocently.
The sweeper in the form of the Deity could not say anything and he had to
just keep smiling.
At that point a sailor walked in. He prayed for his safe journey as he was
going on a long trip.
Just then the rich man came with the police and said that somebody has
stolen his wallet and seeing the sailor there, he asked the police to
arrest him thinking that he might have taken it.
Now the sweeper in the form of Deity wanted to say that the sailor is not
the thief but he could not say so and he became greatly frustrated.
The sailor looked at the Lord and asked why he, an innocent person, is
being punished?!
The rich man looked at the Lord and thanked Him for finding the thief. The
sweeper in the deity form could no more tolerate and he thought that even
if the real Lord had been here, he would have definitely interfered and
hence he started speaking and said that the sailor is not the thief but it
was the poor man who took away the wallet. The rich man was very thankful
as also the sailor.
In the night, the real Lord came and He asked the sweeper how the day was.
The sweeper said, "I thought it would be easy, but now I know that Your
days are not easy, but I did one good thing." Then he explained the whole
episode to the Lord.
The Lord became very upset on hearing this whereas the sweeper thought the
Lord would appreciate him for the good deed done.
The Lord asked, "Why did you not just stick to the plan? You had no faith
in Me. Do you think that I do not understand the hearts of all those who
come here?
All the donation which the rich man gave was all stolen money and it is
only a fraction of what he really has and he wants Me to reciprocate
unlimitedly! On the contrary, the single coin offered by the poor man was
the last coin he was having and he gave it to Me out of faith. The sailor
might not have done anything wrong, but if the sailor were to go in the
ship that night he was about to die because of bad weather and instead if
he is arrested he would be in the jail and he would have been saved form a
greater calamity.
The wallet should go to the poor man because he will use it in My service.
I was going to reduce the rich man's karma also by doing this and save the
sailor also. But you cancelled everything because you thought you know My
plan and you made your own plans!"
Moral:
The Lord has His own ways to do justice to all; but with faith and patience
only we can realize It!
All is well!
Thanks and regards,
Saminath. G
