Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Vipinji, Thank you for the story below. I read it long ago and forgot.. Its delightful that someone knows it too and can remind me of the profound teaching. You are gracious, dear brother. Indeed true friends are for assisting and rescuing one another.

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."
