Its our pleasure to narrate a story by Bhagavan, the founder and core of International Vedanta Society. The story goes thus- a very rich man tied two ferocious dogs in his gates. The people using the road adjoining the gate were very frightened by the dogs and left using the road. One day, the rich man asked his attendant, why does the people of the locality avoid using this road of ours, the attendant had no answer. The master asked him to go and find out.
" Out of fear" said a commuter. "Your master has money, so, he can afford to keep such deadly dogs in the gate which appears as if running on to us." Knowing this, the rich man went to the market and requested a man to come with him and that his dogs won't bite. The man resisted initially but gave up to the earnest request. When the man reached the gate of the house, he saw the dogs were of stones. Crafted skillfully in such a way that it looked lively. The man cried out of joy," what a beauty, what a skill !!" The fear transformed into extreme bliss by knowing the exact object.
Similarly, we cry out in this world, terrified by the fears which stays in our mind. See this world carefully, you will see bliss and love. See this world as it is, you will see God. There is nothing but God.
Love and best wishes,
