Madri_dasi 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 A Temple goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to Temple every Mondays. I've gone for 30 years now," hew rote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sanskrit verses. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the gurus are wasting theirs by giving lectures at all." This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to thed elight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for any single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank Sri Krishna for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
