Short Stories with Great Morals:: A Boy Who Fed God
A noble man used to worship his family’s deity everyday with food offerings. One day he had to go out of his village for the day. He said to his son, Raman: Give the offering to the deity today. See that God is fed.
The boy offered food to the deity in the shrine, but the image would neither eat nor drink nor talk. Raman waited a long time, but still the image did not move. But he totally believed that God would come down from His throne in heaven, sit on the floor and eat.
Again and again he prayed to the deity, saying: “O Lord, please come down and eat the food. It is already very late. Father will get angry if I did not feed you.” The deity did not say a word.
The boy wept and cried: “O Lord, my father asked me to feed you. Why won’t you come down? Why won’t you eat from my hands?”
The boy wept for some time with a longing soul. At last the deity came down smilingly from the altar in human form and sat before the meal and ate it.
After feeding the deity, the boy came out of the prayer room. His relatives said: “The worship is over. Now bring the Prasādam for us.”
The boy said: “God has eaten everything, He did not leave anything for you today.”
They entered the prayer room and were speechless with wonder to see that the deity had really eaten every bit of the offering.

The moral of the story is that God does eat if you offer food with full faith, love, and devotion. Most of us don’t have the faith Raman had. We don’t know how to feed Him! It is said that we must have faith in God like a child or we shall not enter the supreme abode, the house of God.
The food we usually consume gets sanctified upon offering it to God. Likewise, ordinary words that we utter become words charged with mystic power when taught by a Guru. Words have great power to accomplish extraordinary tasks when heard from the mouth of the Sadguru as His teachings. From where and how do they get such power? A Sadguru who has a clear grasp of the meanings of words and mastered their essence can speak words of power. The thought, word, deed get unified and as actions reflect one's thought, the very words uttered by such good souls vibrate the Spirit-Power and they prove to be mantras which can command the matter to obey them.A snake had bitten Shyama on his little finger. While Shyama was climbing up the steps to seek Baba's healing help, Baba shouted "beware! Get down". Shyama felt bad, but in the process the poisonous effect got weakened. Baba's words were directed to the poison. When Shyama's cousin fell sick with plague, Baba said "Send the Udhi. You go tomorrow and come back quickly". He meant the plague to be sent out and visit his cousin to know the condition. On several occasions, Baba's words worked like miracles. This is the difference between the word and mantra. Every word Baba uttered was a holy mantra. As devotees of Baba, our word and deed must do good to others.
