Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Simoneji Well what can we say,I have been trying to inform that in this beautiful world of ours all living forms are equal and the lord's creation, but.......... Dear simoneji let me just recollect a small incident The great sage Agastya during his travels comes to a small stream in the forest to drink water and finds a scorpion getting drowned. Immediatly he puts his hand in the water and tries to rescue it, Well it bites him, he tries it once again it bites him.............and in the third attempt he manages to rescue it inspite of it's bite. His disciple cannot understand this and asks sage Agastya as to why he saved the scorpion in spite of it stinging him repeatedly and the Great Sage says " Look it is the scorpion's nature to sting and it is my nature to do good. it behaved according to how God created it and I did what God created me for, to do good to all for all are his creation." What a profound truth simoneji isn't it. So let us try our level best to rescue our friend and sibling for that is what friends are for!
