Pure love doesn't beg; An illustration

Love is a triangle and it is not afraid of anything. It does not beg anyone. Love loves only for the sake of Love but not for any material thing. So Love is for Love. Love is fearless. It does not beg for anything. It loves just for Love. Such Love with these three qualities is the True Love. Once a king went to a forest for hunting. He was tired and felt thirsty. He saw a small hut at some distance. Expecting someone to be there he went and saw a great person meditating in that place. The king waited there without disturbing the person who is in meditation. After a little while the person got up and asked the king who he is and why he was waiting. The king replied that, “He is the king of that kingdom and having come for hunting and getting tired, he came there to take some rest”. Then that great person gave him some cool water and some fruits. The king was happy. Going back, the king requested that person to go along with him to his kingdom and accept his hospitality. That person being a sage who relinquished everything did not accept king’s invitation. The king pleaded repeatedly and then to make him happy, the sage went with him. Both of them bathed and the king went to the altar in his house and prayed to God as follows. “Oh God! By my fortune, I became the king. But this kingdom is very small. I have to expand this by conquering some other kings. Please bless me”. The sage, hearing this prayer got up suddenly and was leaving. The king saw and asked him, “Why was he leaving without accepting the food he was going to offer”? The sage said “I did not come here to beg from a beggar. You seem to be a beggar asking God for a huge kingdom. I can beg from that God directly if I want. I do not want anything from you”. So one who has pure love for God need not beg. One need not ask God for anything. He knows what each one wants and graces that from time to time.
