One day Lord Vishnu and Goddess
Lakshmi were sitting in a very relaxed
mood in their home, Vaikunta.
They were chatting with
each other.
Suddenly, Vishnu
got up from his seat
and ran a few yards.
Just as suddenly, He
stopped. He then made a U-
turn and came back to take His
seat.
Lakshmi knew her husband well. Even to her these actions were very odd. She was quite confused and asked Vishnu, "My Lord! Why did you run in the first place, then turn around after just a few yards?" Vishnu replied, "I saw a man about to hurt one of my devotees. I ran to help my devotee. Then, I saw the boy picking up a stone to protect himself. I decided that he didn't need my help after all, so I came back."
When we truly trust God, the Divine, we surrender to Him completely trusting that He will take care of all our needs. That is true devotion.

Surrendering to the Master and the Divine is the path to enlightenment.
