Once a Guru sent a pupil for further guidance to a mendicant in a Siva temple.
When he reached the temple, he found a fellow reclining in the central shrine with both his legs resting on the sacred lingam. The pupil was naturally enraged at the man's insolence; when he spoke angrily against his behaviour, the man said, "Please lift my legs and place them where the lingam is not."
When he did so, there was a lingam under the feet in the new position. Wherever he deposited the man's legs, a lingam rose to give hem rest!
That was the lessen the beggar taught him - God is everywhere; win the vision to see Him so.
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
