MEDICINE BOTTLE

afternoon evening

There was a kind devotee of Lord Shri Krishna in Rajasthan, whose name was Ramesh Chandra. He had a medicine shop. A small picture of Lord Shri Krishna was placed in a corner of his shop. When he opened the shop, after cleaning, he used to clean the picture of God daily by washing his hands and showing incense etc. with great devotion. He also had a son Rakesh, who used to sit with him at the shop after completing his studies. He also used to see his father doing all this and since he was an educated young man of the new age, he used to explain to his father that God etc. is nothing, it is all an illusion of the mind.

The scriptures say that the sun revolves around the universe on its chariot while science has proved that the earth revolves around the sun, thus everyday science gives new examples to tell that there is no God!!

The father looked at him with affection and kept smiling. He did not want to argue on this subject.

Time passed and the father became old. Maybe they knew that now their end time is near...

So one day he said to his son, "Son, whether you believe in God or not, it is enough for me that you are a hardworking, kind and honest person. But will you take my word for it?"

The son said, "Say it father, I will definitely agree."

The father said, "Son, after my departure, one, you must clean this picture of God everyday in the shop and second, if you ever get into any trouble, tell your problem to Shri Krishna with folded hands. Just accept what I say." The son filled the acceptance.

Father passed away after a few days, time kept passing...

One day it was raining very heavily. Rakesh sat in the shop all day and the subscription also decreased. The lightning from above was also very disturbing. Then all of a sudden a boy got wet and came quickly and said, "Brother, I need this medicine. My mother is very ill. The doctor said that if she is given four spoons of this medicine immediately, only then the mother will be able to survive, do you have this medicine?"

Rakesh saw the paper and immediately said, "Yes it is." The boy was very happy... and after a short transaction went away with the medicine.

But what is this!!! As soon as Rakesh looked at the counter, shortly after the boy left, he was in a bad condition because just a short while ago, a customer had returned a vial of rat poison. Due to the absence of light, Rakesh kept the bottle on the counter, promising that he would put it back at the right place when the light came on. But the boy who came to take the medicine, instead of his bottle, he took medicine to kill rats and the boy was not even educated!!!

"Oh God!" Unintentionally came out of Rakesh's mouth, "It has become a disaster!!" Then he remembered his father's words and immediately folded his hands in front of Lord Krishna's picture and started praying with a sad heart, "O Lord! Father always used to say that you are. If you really are, today this untoward incident could have been avoided." Take it. Don't let a mother drink poison from her son, Lord don't let it!!!"

"Brother!" That's why a voice came from behind...

"Brother, I slipped because of the mud, the bottle of medicine also broke! Please give me another bottle...." Rakesh's eyes welled up with tears after seeing the picture full of God's adorable smile!!!

Today a belief had awakened within him that there is someone who is running the universe, whom some call God, some call God, some call omnipresence and some call God! A prayer made from a heart full of love and devotion never goes unheard.
