TRUE DEVOTION

   I know that all of us or may be most of us believe in God and worship in our own way and also pray . But for many of us the God is God of convenience.. We pray for our success, our family's good fortune  and sometimes even pray him so we get good parking spot .So for us or for most of us this God God for OUR COMFORT. No doubt we believe in him and we also trust him . But it is not 100% devotion. We don't mind waking him up - if he is sleeping or bothering him on week end or in the middle of the noght, as long as we WANT something . So this is a story of again TULASIDAS. I told him aboiut him last time before he became devoted  and was devotional to God. Now is the story after that. 

    So Tulasidas was devotee of God and he worshiped God Rama. He lived in home and was devoting his life for the God . He still has things in his home . Since he became devoted to God, he was not paying much attention to the usual day to day activity and precautions that we take so that noone steels anything from our home . So the couple of robbers noticed this and felt that they can steel from his home . So they decided to do it at night as everyone is asleep. But when they came to steel. they noticed that 2 young men with bow and arrows were guarding the home of Tulsidas. They could not do much . They came back next night and they saw the same guards. So they were frustrated . They went to Tulsidas next morning and asked him as to who are these guards  and how did they happen to guard the home for him . Tulsidas understood  and told them that they were LORD RAMA  and Lakshman. He felt very bad that Lord Rama and his brother Laksham had to come to protect his home  and worldly belonging . So he decided to donate everything that he has . He did not want the God to be bothered by simple things like protecting his devotees.

     Do you think we will ever do that ?
