God showers His Grace on those who have Kindness

Whatever this girl did in the way of kindness, she never expected any reward for

her actions. Without expecting any result or any fruits, she had faithfully been

serving the sick man every day. Now God showered his benevolent grace on her.

One evening, the Lord came to that house with a chest full of gold and asked,

"Is this the home of the child who has given so much food and water to one in

distress?" The Lord continued, "It was I who assumed the form of the sick man

who languished in that shelter, until your little girl came and took care of

me. Now I am leaving this gift so that the child can grow up and become highly

educated. I lived in that shelter for ten days to test this girl. This child's

heart is very sacred and pure. It is full of kindness. Her heart is my dwelling

place, my own temple." He handed over the chest to the parents telling them to

use the money to secure her happiness and prosperity.

But the parents were not overjoyed at the prospect of getting such a large

amount of wealth. They fell at the feet of this divine person who had blessed

them with his visit. They said to him, "Revered sir, we do not have any need

for so much wealth. Wealth beyond one's own capacity is harmful, it can take

away one's peace of mind. It can increase one's ego and make one forget God. We

do not want so much wealth," But, having blessed them, the divine visitor

disappeared, leaving the entire treasure there. This person who came was not

merely a great man. The family members recognized him as the Lord himself.

Without keeping the money just for their own family, they used it for the

welfare of the whole community in which they lived. They asked everyone to

conduct themselves in the belief that present in every being is the full

manifestation of God. They showed by their own lives how God could be obtained,

by expressing love and compassion and kindness to all beings who were in

need.

You should not narrow your belief in God by thinking that he exists only in a

certain place. You have to experience God everywhere. How will you be able to

develop this feeling? God exists both inside and outside. If God existed only

inside, inner purity would be sufficient. As God exists externally as well,

external purity is also required. Therefore, since God is both inside and out,

you need to have both inner and outer purity only then will you be able to

become fully aware of the omnipresence of God.
