The Idol Turned



 Kanakadas yearned to see the idol of Krishna installed in the temple at Udipi and as he could not go into the sacred precincts, the flag post hid the view; so he went round the shrine and tried to find a crevice in the wall through which he could catch a glimpse of the Krishna he loved so much.  He found a crevice but that gave him a glimpse of the back of the idol, not the resplendent face of the Lord.  When he lamented his fate, the idol turned round and gave him the coveted darshan!  That is the reward of the yearning!

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