Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 A Brahmin couple used to live in a village. They had a beautiful garden. They grew all sorts of plants. Garden was very attractive. Once a cow entered the garden and started destroying the garden. The Brahmin got wild and gave a severe blow to the cow. The cow fell dead. All the people around started cursing the couple and said they would get `Gohatya Paathakam'. The couple said"Everything is Shiva Leela. Without His consent nothing is possible. It is Lord Shiva who killed the cow. So no sin is attributed to them." After a while a traveler visited the beautiful garden and started praising the maali for rendering such a care to the plants. The couple rushed to the traveler and narrated how much they toiled to bring out such beautiful garden. They said "we planted this a year ago and now this is yielding good flowers. We took lots of pain to procure this plant. We nurtured this plant specially. We…, We…, We…" How funny! How selfish are we!! All good things are done by us. Bad things are done by Him.
