Even in this
Kali yug God is there to help us. Just we need to recognize Him/ Her. The following
tale is an ideal instance:
There was a
devotional person in a village. He used to spend his day remembering, chanting
and serving God. He was of the opinion that God always comes to help us
whenever we are in trouble.
Once his village
was affected by flood after heavy rain. He started praying God and went to the first
floor to save himself from the rising water level when a boatman came in his boat
and asked him to jump into the boat. But he refused and replied God will come
and help him out. So the boatman went away. The level of water started increasing and
the man climbed to the second floor and continued his prayer. Now a rescue team
approached him and asked to help. But this time too he refused the team’s
service and said God will come to his help.
The water level
further increased and he went to the terrace and continued praying God. Now, a
rescue helicopter came to his help. The personnel in the copter threw a rope ladder
and asked him to climb. But the person repeated the same answer.
Unfortunately
water level increased further and he was washed away by the floods. Later when
his soul reached heaven he met God and asked: “why didn't you come to my help when
I was caught in the flood. I prayed you continuously, but you didn't come to
help me out.” God replied, “I came to help you, but you weren't willing to take
it, not only once but thrice, first in the form of the boatman, second as the
rescue team and finally in the helicopter. But you couldn’t recognise me.”
Moral:
We should
never expect god to come directly and help us. He appears before us in some
form to help. Just we need to recognise Him.
