A
brahmin was once crossing a river bed, and some men were
washing clothes. Finding a nice new silk shawl on his
shoulder, they fell upon him in a group, shouting that it
belonged to the palace and had been given to them to be
washed, but had been stolen and not been traced. The poor
brahmin screamed “Narayana, Narayana” when they
rained blows on him. Immediately Lord Narayana rose from
His seat, walked forward, stopped and returned to His seat!
His surprised consort asked Him the reason for His strange
behaviour. Lord Narayana said, “I wanted to help that
poor brahmin who has fallen into a den of scoundrels, but he
has started beating them blow for blow – My help is
no longer needed!” Leaving everything to His will is
truly the highest form of devotion and the easiest way to
win His Grace.
