Jai Shri Krishna.
Today in my blog sharing a divine story of drop your ego.
In a small town one morning, a sadhu came looking around at the shops on both sides of a small street leading towards the main market.
He was thirsty and looking to get some water to drink.
The shop owners were just opening their shops and getting settled to start a new day of their business.
He saw a grocery shop which had opened early and the owner, a noble-looking old man, was sitting peacefully and reading the newspaper.
Sadhu went up to him and requested if he could get some water to drink.
The owner looked up from the newspaper, saw this old sadhu perspiring, he welcomed him into his shop and offered a seat next to him. He asked his boy to get a jug of water.
Sadhu wiped his face with the cloth on his shoulder and felt good for this brief rest after a long walk from a distant village.
He looked around in the grocer’s shop and saw ceramic bottles and tin boxes on the shelves. To strike a conversation, he asked the owner, All these bottles and tin boxes seem to be filled with different spices, huh, what is in that bottle?.
The old man said, that has Namak (salt) and in the next? Asked the sadhu. black pepper, Turmeric, Red Chilli, sadhu kept asking and the owner very patiently kept responding. The sadhu looked at a tin box at the end of the shelf and asked what is in that box?
The old man replied, in that box is Jai Shri Krishna.
Jai Shri Krishna? Sadhu was surprised. I have never heard of any spice named Jai Shri Krishna. Sadhu wondered.
The shop owner smiled and said, The box is empty. But I don’t like to call it empty and hence I say there is Jai Shri Krishna in it.”
The old Sadhu was dumbstruck.
He got shocked listening to this simple and obvious-sounding reply.
The box was empty, hence there was Jai Shri Krishna in it.
Tears started rolling down from Sadhu’s eyes.
He touched the shop owner’s feet and said, I have been looking for God all my life.
Never realized that one should be empty oneself from ego, jealousy, anger, greed and only then Jai Shri Krishna can enter our life
As he left he greeted the shop owner with folded arms, Jai Shri Krishna.@Jawahar Lalla .#jawaharlalla#jawaharlallablogs#Instagram Ig: JBLwrites#blogs#jaishrikrishna #inspiring#motivating#spiritual#blogs#anthologies.
