A SMALL STORY

A master tells a disciple, ‘Please press my feet.’ The disciple says, ‘Oh, I am a sinner, how can I touch Your feet?’ He does not want to do it because he is lazy. So he says, ‘I am a great sinner. I am impure. How can I touch Your feet; how can I do that?’ Later, a devotee brought fruits and prasād, offerings. The master put a little in his mouth and left the rest. The next day, he saw nothing on the plate. He asked his disciple, ‘What happened to the fruits and prasād?’ The disciple answered, ‘It was guru prasād, offering to the master. I could not let it go for a waste. I finished the whole thing because it was guru prasād.’
Look at the mind, how nicely it handles different situations! Wherever we want, we insert whatever is convenient. The moment you understand the futility of your goal and wealth, that nothing is going to be with you forever, all of these divine qualities radiate through your being.
You will be transformed into a person who is established in forgivingness, who maintains equanimity of mind, who is satisfied and united with yoga. Actually, when you are blissful inside, you radiate these qualities. A man who is totally blissful inside radiates pleasantness for absolutely no reason.
