one day, KUBERA-the lord of wealth- arranged a sumptuous dinner for Vighneswara- the lord of obstacles- for getting rid of obstacles and gaining abundant wealth. Kubera took permission from Lord shiva and led GANESHA to the venue of dinner. Kubera
started feeding him with a variety of dishes in abundance but Ganesha was not satisfied even to a grain. Soon the whole stores of food started waning with out giving ganesha, satiation. Kubera was taken aback, seeing the gluttony of Ganesha. The complete stock of food was depleted with out satiating Ganesha`s hunger.
The angry Ganesha started mutilating the whole arrangements made for the dinner. Kubera was perplexed and ran towards shiva
and asked him to take care of the situation.Immediately shiva reached the venue, took Ganapathy in his lap and asked him to calm down. SHIVA( The eternal embodiment of BRAHMAN or pure consciousness) took a single grain of rice from an almost empty pot and gave that to his dear son Ganesha. To the great surprise of Kubera, Ganesha soon became calm and his burning hunger was quickly satiated.
Moral of the story
Any amount of material gains can never give satisfaction to our inner craving for fulfillment. But an iota of spiritual wealth can give us total sense of fulfillment.
FRIENDS!
Let us have that intense yearning for Self-Realization and RE-DISCOVER that realm of 'SAHAJA SAMADHI'- already attained.
