Where is God , how is he
and what does he do?
By
P.R.Ramachander
(based on a famous
folk tale)
There was a very
great king in South
of India,
Who was well known
as “Krishna Deva Raya”
And in his
court were eight
great geniuses,
Whom the
world called “Eight great
wise elephants.”
One day the
king came to the court with lot of confusion,
And he told those
eight wise people . “ since yesterday,
I am not able to
sleep at all as my mind is asking ,
“Where is God
? How is he ?and what is he doing?”
I expect one of you wise
people to solve this great
puzzle,
So that from today
at least , I can have a peaceful sleep.”
The wise
people of the court were greatly
baffled,
And Tenali Rama ,
the court jester stood up
to answer the king.
Tenali Rama lighted
a big candle and asked the king,
“Which direction
does candle’s flame show? and king said.
“ofcourse top”and
then Tenali Rama kept the
candle on the ,
Left , right , down and asked the king “where?” and king
said “Top”
Then Tenali Rama
told , this holds for God
also and he is always on the top,
And then Tenali Rama
asked the servants to bring a
cup of milk ,
And asked”If we add curd to this what will
happen?” and king said,
“It would become curd.” And Tenali Rama asked , “if we churn the curd?”
King said “WE would get butter “And Rama asked “If we
heat the butter” king said “ghee”
Tenalai Rama asked the king “Do you then agree that
this cup of milk,
Has curd, butter
and ghee also ?” and the king said “yes” and Rama asked”
“PLease tell
me onwhich side of the
cup these are there? “ and the
king answered,
“Impossible to tell” and Rama said , “Similarly God is
every where and it is not easy to find
him”
The king wanted
answer to his last question as to
what is God doing now.
And Tenali Rama requested the king to occupy his seat and permit him to sit on the throne,
And then Rama summoned
king’s police and asked them to imprison the mad king,
And Rama told “Just for fun, just now the God hasmade you in to a
very ordinary person ,
Who will obey my orders at this moment”And king got answers
to all questions.
