OFFERS LORD WITH FULL LOVE & DEVOTION

(SERVE "GOD" IN YOUR MIND BY THINKING & LOVING HIM IN YOUR MIND)                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Once there was a very poor devotee of the Lord. He wanted to serve the Lord but he was not having any money with him to buy something which he could offer to the Lord.                                  In this dismay he said to the Lord, "I am so poor Lord that i do not have even simple food to serve you."                                            On this Lord told him to offer him some water only. Somehow there was in water also available with him at that time so he showed his inability to serve water also to the Lord.                               On this, Lord asked him to serve him with simple leaves of a tree but he could not even bring the leaves to the Lord as had got hurt in his leg & could not walk.                                                On this, Lord told him to "Serve him in his mind only by thinking & loving the Lord in his mind".  So, the devotee thought of Lord & prayed him in his mind with great Love & Lord became very happy with him.                                                                                                                                                                             In Bhagwat Gita "Lord Krishna" said, if one offers me with Love & devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or even water, i will accept it.

HAVE FIRM FAITH IN "GOD" WITHOUT ANY DOUBT

Once there were four disciples of a "SPIRITUAL GURU". Three of the disciples always used to spend all of their time in debating and talking about the existence of "GOD" & all types of intellectual pursuits. Fourth one was a simple man who had great faith in "GOD" & always used to sweep the floors of the temple.                                                                                                              At the end, this simple man got enlightment first. At this the intellectual disciples asked their "GURU" how come the simple man got enlightment first.                                                                  At that time their "GURU" responded, "When he was sweeping the temple floor, he was also sweeping the corners of his mind of all doubts".  "HIS FIRM FAITH IN GOD WITHOUT ANY DOUBT"  is the reason that he is able to attain to enlightenment first.                                                                                           In one's life, 'Faith in God' gives us a direction in understanding this Universe & it's people, while doubt creates uncertainty, distrust & disbelief in life. Doubting Soul finds happiness neither in this world nor in the next, while the faithful one's attain peace & reach to "GOD" easily.
