Lord Ramachandra about building the Bridge

(This story is so similar to Silver Jubilee celebration - 2006 in Bangalore)



Lord Ramachandra was building the bridge to reach Lanka and kill Ravana. The monkeys were carrying huge stone to build this bridge. The strongest of all monkeys was Hanuman Ji and He was carrying the biggest boulders and throwing them in the sea to make the bridge.

There was a small spider who was also assisting Lord Rama to build the bridge by pushing very small sand particles.

When Haumana Ji saw the spider struggling to push small sand particles, he started laughing and asked spider -

Hanuman Ji - "What is the use of your effort?”

Lord Ramachandra called Hanuman Ji over and asked him

Lord Ramachandra - "Tell me why I am building that Bridge?”

Hanuman Ji - "Because you want to cross the ocean".

Lord Ramachandra - "This is not true. I don't have to cross the ocean.
Just a few minutes ago i dried the ocean simple by getting angry.
That's not the reason I could be there in one moment if I wanted.
Simply by writing my name the stones are floating in the ocean."

Lord Ramachandra - "How much more potent is it if I am there?”

Hanuman Ji - "Because you want to kill Ravana."

Lord Ramachandra - “If i want to kill Ravana all I have to do is leave his heart and he will die. Only because of my presence in his heart he is living."

Hanuman Ji - "Then why you are building this bridge?”

Lord Ramachandra - "To engage all of you in the devotional service and thus get purified. Like you the spider is also struggling and trying his best to engage in devotional service."



See Lord’s mercy - He is absolute, he can do anything and he don't need our help at all. He is complete - But His Causeless mercy is he love us so much and like a loving father wants us to be on right path But somehow don't understand his mercy.

Feel fortunate whenever his service come to you. He never ever forgets any service which you render to him.

We should feel so fortunate that he is showing his mercy to us. When he gives us any Job - It means we are blessed that he has shown his causeless mercy. Understand Him - Love Him - Serve him and then purify ourselves.
