Every year in month of August we visit to our temple. For some reason this year I was not prepared. Just on the day we had to visit I just grabbed my purse and drove with kids. With immense devotion and total contentment, I was about to leave the place, My daughter asked me if she could get some money to put for offerings in the temple. Me being a CARD person and in that kind of hurry, dint have anything more than some pennies.
My recent visit to India had left tons of coins in my purse. My kids just took all of them out and put it in the offerings box. I tried to stop them saying "These are Indian coins, we cannot put them here!". Promptly I got a reply, "Why not! This is Indian god so Indian coins should work."
I was zapped. I could have gone beyond any measures to explain why, how and so on. But the honest, pure and simple point of view stopped me then and there!
Life is a piece of cake when seen from a honest and pure mind!
