STORY-OF-THE-WEEK

RAMA NAMAMRITAM!

In the spiritual field, you must be sincere. Do not pretend, and deceive yourself and others.

There was once a mendicant who sought a place where he could get a meal as he was very hungry.

A pious old lady called him into her house and asked him to take his bath and partake of the noon meal. He said, "Oh, why should I take a bath? Govindethi sada snanam- I have now repeated the name of Govinda, that is as good as a bath."

Hearing this, the lady said, "In that case, Rama Namamritam, Sada Bhojanam-Name of Raama is food for every, I shall also feed you with a quotation. Get out of here pretty quick."

Do not use the study of the Shastras and scriptures for increasing your egoism; let it make you humble, though at the same time, more resistant to temptation.
