HOW BIG IS THAT

 

“It is only when a Helper, i.e., Guru comes and by God's grace opens their eyes

and liberates them from their bondage, that their eyes are opened to a greater

and larger life, compared to which their former limited life is nothing.” -Sri

Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XXIII.

 

A frog lived in a well. It had lived there for long time. It was born and

brought up there. And it was a small little frog. One day another frog that had

lived in the sea came and fell into that well. The frog of the well asked the

new-comer, “Whence are you?”

 

The frog of the sea replied: “I am from the sea.”

 

The frog of the well questioned: “The sea! How big is that?”

 

The frog of the sea said: “It is very big.”

 

The frog of the well stretched its legs and questioned, “Ah! Is your sea so big?”

 

The frog of the sea said, “It is much bigger.”

 

The frog of the well then took a leap from one side of the well to another, and

asked, “Is it as big as this, my well?”

 

“My friend,” said the frog of the sea, “How can you compare the sea with your well?”

 

The frog of the well asserted, “No, there can never be anything bigger than my

well. Indeed, nothing can be bigger than this! This fellow is a liar, he must

be turned out.”

 

Such is the case with every narrow minded man. Sitting in his own little well,

he thinks that the whole world is no bigger than his well.

 

TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA…..

 

Broken is my body. I know not how long it will last.

 

Before it drops down, may it take me to the Other Shore!

 

This morning, I prayed: “O Lord! I have strayed afar. Take the wanderer Home!”
