The True Devotion

One day Narada thought that he was the most pious man. The Lord told him to go and see a peasant who was more pious than he. He went. The peasant invoked the name of God when he woke up and went he went to bed.; the rest of the day he worked in the fields.

Narada did not understand and told the God "I pray and think of You 24 hours a day, how can you compare him to me ?"

The God smiled and told him to take a cup filled to the brim with oil and carry it around the city without spilling a drop. Narada obeyed and came back successfully without spilling a drop.

The God asked, "How many times did you think of me?".Narada replied, "Lord how could I think of You ? My mind was concentrated on ensuring that the oil did not spill."

Thus the God made Narada realized the greatness of peasant's devotion.

3 Starthis story was in ncert hindi book in 10 th class i read . This is only half story . The explanation narad gives is : the job of oil was assigned to me by you so why to call your name again and again when the job belong to you. To which god replied that the job of the peasent is also given by me and that is also my job but still the peasent calls his name . So comparing both peasant is more pious than Narad
4 StarWork Is Worship is the moral of this story.
5 StarGood story, I could learn that if we concentrate on the work we do, God will always bless us than thinking of God and praying that we should succeed in the work we perform. Work while blessings from God will automatically be present for you, with you
5 StarVery good moral.
3 StarWhile it's important to be focussed we must understand that we need to differentiate focusing from ignoring and not ignore the very core of our existence. Existence is the core of excitement.
4 StarGood one...It depends on oneself how to take life.
5 StarGood moral. Do your duty and think of God not only when you have trouble but daily, a few minutes.
5 Stargood posting
5 StarThere is always a difference. The day started with God in mind is always more better/fruitful than the day started without thinking of God. Pray the God and proceed your activities for the day.
