The Lord's Wisdom
Acharya Ahankar Kesari was a royal tutor and a great scholar who threw his opponents in dumb silence with his lashing argumentative skills while in a debate. He was held in high esteem by the king, that he was presented with a large garden with beautiful flower beds which were a feast to his eyes and bountiful fruit trees whose fruits served as a feast to his stomach.
One day as the acharya strolled in the garden he observed the beauty in the creation of the Lord; the rosy apples laden trees, huge pumkins held by slender creepers and much more. Soon he felt tired and rested himself on a bench under a banyan tree. As he stretched his body on the bench, he looked up and saw the huge branches and the dense leaves of the banyan tree. He also noticed that the fruits were very tiny. He thought that it was really foolish of the Lord to have created such a gigantic tree with tiny fruits. He mused that the banyan tree spread its branches in pride while bearing only little fruits. The other fruits trees yielded delicious apples, pomegranates, and enormous pumkins in slender creepers but presented a humble appearance with fascinating yields.
The Acharya thought that the banyan tree merely bore a boastful appearance. As he thought so, he drifted into a sleep. As he slept soundly with the afternoon breeze caressing him, a small fruit of the banyan tree fell sharply on his head. Immediately, the acharya woke up and found a small banyan fruit to be the intruder of his sleep. He at once thanked God for His Grace that it was a small fruit that landed on his head. He could then sense the Lord's wisdom. He thought 'O Lord, had the banyan fruit been bigger it would have crushed my head!"
A new understanding dawned in the learned man and he walked homewards with a grateful heart.
Perfection is the underlying law in the Lord's creation. The Lord's acts are ever laden with His wisdom and they are all with a purpose for an ultimate good. Faith in His actions leads to surrender and surrender brings forth eternal freedom.
