There was a certain priest who served in a household
chapel. Once he went away leaving the charge of the
service to his little son. He told the boy to place the
daily offring of food before the Deity and see that He
ate it. The boy, following the injuctions of his father,
placed the offering before the image and silently
waite. But the image neither spoke not ate. The boy
watched for a long time. He had firm faith that the
Deity would come down from the altar, take the seat
before the offring and eat it. Then he prayed, " O
LORD, COME AND EAT; IT IS GETTING VERY LATE, I
CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER." But the Lord did not
speak. Then the boy began to cry saying, "LORD, MY
FATHER TOLD ME TO SEE THAT YOU DID EAT THE
OFFERING. WHO DO YOU NOT COME? YOU COME
TO MY FATHER AND EAT HIS OFFERING WHAT HAVE
I DONE THAT YOU DO NOT COME TO ME AND EAT
MY OFFERIN?" He cried bitterly and for a long time,
Then as he looked up at the seat. he saw the Deity in
a human form eating the offring! :) :) When the service
was ended and the boy came out, the members of the
household said to him, "If the service is over, bring
out the offering ," The boy replied, "YEs, but the Lord
has eaten everything." In amazement they asked, :
What did you say ?" With obsolute innocence the boy
repeated, " Why, the Lord has eaten all the I offered.
" Then they entered the chaped and were
dumbfounded at the sight of the empty dishes.
SUCH IS THE POWER OF TRUE FAITH AND TRUE YEARNING!....
