Story 26 Lady carrying sticks on head

1
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:05,792
PRABHUPĀDA: There is a story,
that one old woman in the forest…

2
00:00:05,793 --> 00:00:08,978
I think it is in <i>Aesop’s
Fable</i> or somewhere.

3
00:00:08,979 --> 00:00:15,598
So, she was carrying a
big bundle of dry wood,

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:20,045
and somehow or other,
the bundle fell down.

5
00:00:20,046 --> 00:00:22,236
It was very heavy.

6
00:00:22,237 --> 00:00:27,191
So the old woman became
very much disturbed,

7
00:00:27,192 --> 00:00:31,230
“Who will help me to get
this bundle on my head?”

8
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:36,099
So, she began to call
God, “God, help me.”

9
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,541
And God came, “What you want?”

10
00:00:39,542 --> 00:00:45,850
“Kindly help me to get
this bundle on my head.”

11
00:00:45,851 --> 00:00:46,964
Just see.

12
00:00:46,965 --> 00:00:52,151
God came to give [her]
benediction, and she wanted to,

13
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:56,943
“Give this bundle
again on my head.”

14
00:00:56,944 --> 00:01:01,427
So, we are doing the same thing.

15
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:08,899
When we go to God we ask Him,
“Kindly give me the bundle on my head.

16
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,701
My family become… happy.

17
00:01:11,702 --> 00:01:18,875
I may have a large amount of
money to enjoy material things.”

18
00:01:18,876 --> 00:01:21,100
We ask that.

19
00:01:21,101 --> 00:01:23,881
That is our foolishness.

20
00:01:23,882 --> 00:01:27,747
Caitanya Mahāprabhu
teaches us, therefore,

21
00:01:27,748 --> 00:01:33,860
that, actually if you want
something from God,

22
00:01:33,861 --> 00:01:46,556
that should be only
begging for His service.

23
00:01:46,557 --> 00:01:46,558
