Man and God

Once, Man went to God to ask for the Divine Bliss.

God smiled mischievously and tasting his shrewd lips, said," worship me and I will impart you the Divine Bliss".

Buoyed with utter delight, Man dedicated his mortal forehead in the feet of the God and kept worshiping faithfully for long. After it was long enough, he raised his head and looked at God with beseeching eyes.

God opened his lotus-eyes and with a smile weaved of the fabric of death, pointed towards the Man's forehead which bore the blot from God's toes. "See, your head has stain. You cannot be blessed. Worship more."

Man bowed again,his forehead touching the God's feet. The stigma on his forehead grew larger. Later, he raised his imploring eyes again.

God said," the stain has grown darker".

Man put his head in God's feet again.


Since then, the sequence of faithful adoration and darkening of the stain has continued endlessly.
