God knows what
you need

There was a young
man in a village ,
Who went on wandering
doing nothing,
And one day he saw
some people chanting ,
The names of Lord Krishna again and
again.
He approached
the one who appeared as their leader,
And asked him, “What is the use
of chanting this name,
Again and
again And I feel you are
wasting your time .”
And that one replied,”There is nothing
that cannot be achieved by such chanting.”
Hearing it that person
who was very hungry went
to a nearby forest,
Climbed on a tree
and wanting to test the power
of Chanting God’s name ,
Started again and again chanting the name
of Lord Krishna praying for food
And suddenly he saw
a wayfarer coming to take rest under the tree.
After some time the wayfarer left the shade of the tree
leaving there,
A huge packet of food and though he wanted to eat the food ,
He did not
because God has not given that
food to him but it was left there by a stranger,
And again after
some time a gang of dacoits
came to take rest under the tree.
They had some
wealth stolen by them and when they saw that packet of food,
Since they were
hungry they felt like eating it but desisted , feeling the man ,
Who was chanting God’s name must have mixed poison in that
food to kill them,
And they caught hold of him and force fed him so that his hunger vanished.
When they saw that not only nothing happened to him
but that,
He was also cheerful after being well fed , ate some of
the food themselves and gave that man,
Lots of money from their loot and that man realizing the power of chanting ,
Name of God , went
to the temple and put all the money he got in to the
coffers of temple.
Then that person decided that he would
forever chant the name of God,
Not to get anything
nor to achieve anything but
to get whatever,
God wanted him to
get , as he knew , that God knew what he wanted,
And eventually he
worked hard and became a rich satisfied man.
