THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
One Sankaranti day, Rukmini, Sathyabhama, Jambavati, Gopikas, and
Draupadi among others were with Lord Krishna, joyously munching sugarcane.
Krishna, in order to test them, pretended as if His finger was cut. God always
tests His devotees. Test is nothing but a taste of God. If the devotee is
successful in the test, he/she receives God's bounteous Grace. God does not
conduct tests as a sign of hatred or enmity; He always does it out of intense
love and compassion. As soon as Krishna's finger was cut, it started bleeding.
Sathyabhama asked a servant to quickly get a piece of cloth. Rukmini ran
herself. Draupadi saw this and immediately tore a piece of her own sari and
tied it to Lord Krishna's thumb to stop the bleeding. Witnessing this, Rukmini
and Sathyabama were ashamed that their love and actions did not match
Draupadi's love. Later Lord Krishna showered infinite grace when Draupadi
needed it the most. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 3, June
30, 1996)
