"What is the Power of Illusion in this world?"
The Lord smiled and said,
“I will tell you. I am thirsty presently. Get me some water from one of those houses seen in distance!”
The Sage immediately went to that Colony to fetch the water. An attraction there soon held Him and further one involvement led to the other and He was permanently into circles of activities..
On a day there was a down in the Sage's life, He felt utterly helpless and instantly Prayed to the Lord. There was a gentle pat from behind and as the Sage looked back, Lord Krishna was seen asking Him with a smile..
"Where is the water?”
The Epic Story is an 'Eye Opener' to me as I always forget to fetch the Sacred Waters in my life being pulled into the attractions of the world endlessly..
No go, my involvement should continue as is as that is the way my life is defined at this stage but all along there is always a better way of doing my activities and the Lord expects me to do that way as much with a rational questioning everywhere at the back of the 6 Ws (Why, Where, What, When, Which, Who) and 1 H (How) and an Ultimate Prayer to the Lord..
'Achutam Keshavam Rama Narayanam
Krishna Damodaram Vasudevam Harim
Shridharam Madhavam Gopika Vallabham
Janaki Nayakam Ramachandram Bhaje!'

DeleteIt is important to keep faith with the Lord even when one is pulled into worldly activities that tether the mind. There is a melodious version of the bhajan ' Achutam Keshavam' by Tulsi Kumar and Jubin Nautiyal. I think you will enjoy it.
