Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 FAITH FAITH - FIRM FAITH “Let Your grace protect me from the miseries of the world” – Sri Sai Satcharitra Ch. XXVIII. An ant was trying to cross the width of the railway platform. People were coming and going across the platform hardly even bothering to see that there existed an insect below their feet whose one trample could spell death for the young one. Yet, mindless of the human going one, the ant proceeded to cross the breadth of the platform in its own slow and steady way. Feet came ahead of it, feet fell behind it some almost brushed by it, quite a few were way off the mark. The ant had just reached the middle of the platform when a train arrived at the station and unloaded an army of human Yamadootas. Surely now, the ant would be crushed to death. The pitter-patter of legs crossed one another as everyone rushed to his/her destination. Some boarded the train also. The ant was right in the middle of the melee of legs, feet, sandals and shoes. It quietly walked on. Astounded, one witness observed the young one reach to safety on the other side. The young ant simply seemed to say, “The Lord protects even the lowest of the low. What do I need to fear, when He, my Lord, is so near?” Discover Use to plan a weekend, have fun online &; more. Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
