Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will read about an incident that demostrates Guru's wisdom in tackling the not-so-wise.............. ---------------------- One day, this Guru saw a crowd gathered around a pond. A local merchant had fallen in the water and was calling for help. People were leaning over and saying, "Give me your hand! Give me your hand!" But the merchant didn't pay attention to their offer to rescue him; he kept wrestling with the water and shouting for help.Finally, the Guru stepped forward and said: "Let me handle this." He stretched out his hand toward the merchant and shouted at him, "Take my hand!"The merchant grabbed Guru's hand and was hoisted out of the pond. People, very surprised, asked the Guru for the secret of his strategy."It is very simple," he replied. "I know this miser wouldn't give anything to anyone. So instead of saying 'Give me your hand,' I said, 'take my hand,' and sure enough he took it." ------------- Guru is capable of speaking our language with us, and slowly transforming us into His ways!
