How do we know who comes to our rescue
It is not possible for us in this world to foretell what kind of person, who, and under what circumstances will help us. A friend walked into the house of a scholar, a great poet, and pundit and started describing about the book he has written was very good and very useful to the world. This pundit then replied that, in writing the text, his wife was very helpful and success is due not only to him but to his wife also. The friend then said, it appears not only the person but also his wife both of them are poets and scholars. How nice and how fortunate that both husband and wife are writers and scholars. The wife who was standing behind the door and listening to this conversation., came after the friend left and asked her husband, "You never utter untruth, and why is it on this day in this context you lied?" The poet then said, "No, I never say untruth. Even if I am to face death, still I will not say untruth. The wife asked, I do not know how to write poetry. I never did it. How is it you said that I have helped you in writing the book. Not only that. When you had written this text, I was not here. I was away in my parents house. How is that you have said that I have helped you? The husband then replied, "Yes that is the help which you had given me by being away from this house." He said, "If you were in this house at that time I would have been immersed in the family affairs and I would have never been able to concentrate and write such a great text." So in this context, what we have to note is that, it is not possible to say which individual under what circumstances and in what way could help us. Mere giving away money or wealth is not the only help. Help can come by way of a good word, encouragement, by gestures or in any other manner. If we have sacredness in our hearts, even if we participate in a small noble deed in this world, it will turn out to be a great help. You need not have to do some very huge and magnanimous things. Divinity is in the smallest of small things and also in the biggest of big things. So, out of a small seed, a huge tree comes out. Out of a small act of yours great help may emanate.
