While Rama, Sita and Lakshmana were roving among the hills and dales of Dandakaranya, one day Rama 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 took 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?"
(Quoted from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
