Narada's Question


Lord Vishnu inquired, "Narada, during your journey how many times did you remember me?"

Narada meekly replied, "I did not think of you my Lord, but then I was doing your work and an important one at that."

Lord Vishnu explained, "Even the farmer does my work. He lives this life of penury with no protection from the heat or cold and with sparse food throughout the year. Not only does he never complain but takes time twice a day to remember me. He does not ask for wealth or greatness but thanks me for what he has. This is why he, and many others like him, are my most loved devotees."

Narada had learnt his lesson in humility.
