The supreme power manifests itself for the sake of a devout heart. A short story from the Hindu mythology portrays the truth.

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi recalls an incident where the Lord manifested Himself to lend a helping hand to His devotee.

Once Sundaramurti Swami to his dismay on entering the temple, could not see the God or Goddess in the Sanctum Sanctorum. On trying to search for them, he found both of them working in the fields, transplanting seedlings for a poor Harijan devotee!

The Lord but none is the helping hand.
