Sometimes our priests of religious places, server of the society, saints those who always meditates on God become arrogant that they are only the people of God and they are far better than the people who are leading family life.
There is a story –A friar/saint who was meditating of the God from years and years in forest was in meditation. A heron started flying and shouting above him. Due to which his meditation was getting disturbed. He got angry and saw at the flying heron with his reddish eye in anger. As he saw in anger on
Heron, the heron burnt into ashes. He became very very arrogant of his meditation and became very very happy that he has achieved something due to his tenacity and the God is happy with him. He rushed to his religious teacher and told the story .But the teacher did not appreciate or praise for him rather he told him that he has to learn a lot. The disciple became annoyed and asked his teacher, how come, you prove it. The saint’s teacher gave him an address of a lady living in a city area and told him to meet her. The disciple went there and passed on the message to the lady that he wants to meet her. The lady was a house wife. She was very busy in serving for the elders of the house, her husband and children. So she could come out of the house a bit late after performing her duties. The saint again got angry and started looking at the lady with his red eyes and wanted to rebuke the lady for the delay. But the lady smiled and and told him, sir I am not the heron whom you looked angrily and it burnt into ashes. The friar got very much surprised to note that I kept on meditating so many years but I could not achieved the knowledge to know about a person’s past how she came to know. The lady answered without any question from the saint this I have achieved by doing unconditional love and by serving members of my family, unconditionally. Then the saint repented and understood that it is not necessary to go to forest and meditate .There are lot of people who are serving for the society and their status of soul is very high. The saint got bend in front of the lady, whom she blessed and taught about religion.
