Once Narada was asked to name the most noteworthy among the things of the world. He answered that the Earth was the biggest. But he was told that Water has occupied three-fourths of the Earth; it threatens to swallow up the balance too, bit by bit. So Water, he had to agree, was more powerful.
However, Water too was drunk up by the sage, Agasthya and the oceans were rendered dry by him, and he in turn is now just a star in the sky! Is the sky the biggest then? No, for it was covered by one single foot of the Vamana-avathara of the Lord.
And the Lord? O He enters the hearts of the devotees and resides there. So Narada had to conclude that the hearts of bhaktas are the grandest things in creation!
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
