Krishnakatha - Story for meditation - 18/11/2011 - Never to make snap judgements

There was a woman. One day, as she walked, she was surprised to find a man hoeing his garden, while sitting on a chair. "What laziness !" the woman exclaimed. After a while, as she carefully looked at the chair, she found lying by its side a pair of crutches. She realized that the man who was hoeing the garden, was a cripple. Criticism immediately changed into admiration, and she praised the man who, despite his handicap, was so eager to work.

The woman learnt the lesson of her life, never to make snap judgments, never to jump to conclusions without first understanding the situation in which the other person was placed. It is understanding that is needed.

Similarly relationship amongst devotees becomes ecstatic in the measure in which we understand others devotees external problems and still how nicely they are trying to serve Krishna.

Thanks to Arjun Sakha Prabhu for sharing this story and moral reflection.
 
PS: I humbly request all the devotees to please forward moral / instructive stories they hear so that everyone can be benefitted
