Once God Shankar and his wife Devi Parvati decided to
make a trip to this world. So with therr bull, whose name was Nandi,
both of them descended to the earth.
Both of them were riding on Nandi. On seeing this,
passers by criticized the couple. "See how cruel this pair of
husband and wife is! Both of them are putting their burden on one
bull! They are not worried about the condition of the bull"
Shankarji looked at Parvatiji and said, "I think
they are right. You get down, I'll ride on this Nandi." So
Parvatiji got down. Both of them started traveling further.
After some distance, another group of people
criticized the couple, "See this person! Such a healthy person
with such a good physique is riding on the bull and poor frail
beautiful lady is walking on foot!" So Shankarji started walking
and Parvatiji sat on the Bull.
Again another group criticized them. "What
kind of lady she is! Her husband is walking and she is comfortable on
the Bull! This man must be a fool! Can't he keep his lady under
control? "
Only one option was left. Shankarji and Parvatiji
lifted the bull on their shoulder - two legs each - and started
walking further. Flocks and flocks of people started pouring in to
see this funny seen. They said, "Both of husband and wife are
full mad! They should ride on Bull! Instead bull is riding on them!"
Therefore if you decide to select path to
spiritual , be firm on your decision! Know it in advance that
materialistic persons will laugh at you!
