Mercy at every step
It was raining, and I did not have much time to distribute books but Krishna had managed to let a few books go out……
I got my books ready, seeing everybody so busy going/coming and shopping. My mind told me, "Who is going to take a book in this hurry?"
Still my desire was strong, and I approached a gentleman exiting a store.
"Excuse me sir, did you see this book today?"
"No, and I am not interested.
"Why?" I replied. "These books are such treasures. They tell you about the soul."
He stopped, looked at the book, and listened to what I had to say.
Touching his heart, I said, "This book will explain to you that although the body is changing from childhood to youth to old age, the soul remains intact."
He was patiently listening, but he said, "I do not have any money today" and walked to his car. He did not give me time to ask him whether he'd read the book. I could have let him keep it.
Then I saw a boy sitting in his car, busy with one of those appliances for games. My mind again said, "Why would you approach him? He looks so busy?"
But I walked to the car, and I signed to him to roll down the window.
"Did you get your book today?"
