Lessons from Ramayan - Lord's Reciprocation with Shabari's Devotion
from Radhanath Swami Hosted by Radhanath Swami
Krishna tells in the Gita, as we surrender the Lord reciprocates. Because she was yearning to serve the Lord the lord had to come. And she was sitting on a straw mat. and when Ram came, she brought straw mats to Ram and Lakshman to sit on. and she wanted to give them something. She was just wearing tree bark as a dress, she had matted hair because she had not combed her hair in years. She had nothing materially but Ram was her guest. She wanted to serve him. So, she went and collected some little berries. I think it was Kapita. Kapita are berries that monkeys like to eat. But the thing about these is if they are bitter or sweet they look exactly the same. The only way to tell is to taste them. So she wanted to give Ram sweet berries. So, what she did, she took each berry, and tasted a little part of it with her own mouth and if it was bitter, she saved it for herself later and if it was sweet she took it off her mouth and gave to Shri Ram.
