The Frog



When Rama, Sita and Lakshamana were roving among the hills and dales of Dandakaraya,Rama one day moved towards the bank of a clear, blue lake.  While stepping down the bank, Rama put his foot on a little frog which suffered great pain but remained mute.

Rama felt pity at the poor creature's plight and asked the frog why it did not cry out in protest.  The frog replied, "Whenever I get into trouble or have fear from foes, I cry out, "Rama!  Rama!" but when Rama himself is causing me pain, whom am I to appeal to?"


(Chinna Katha from the Divince Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
