While Râma, Sîtâ and Lakshmâna were moving among the hills and dales of Dandakaranya, one day Râma moved towards the bank of a clear blue lake. While stepping down the bank, Râma put His foot on a little frog, which suffered great pain but remained mute. Râma 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 'Râma! Râma!' but when Râma Himself is causing me pain, whom am I to appeal to?"
(From the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
