Moral of the Story ~~ Devotees will do their utmost to serve Lord Shiva and his devotees.

* Baba Baidyanath Jytoriling ~ Jharkhand *

When you heat milk, at a certain stage it boils over. In the same way, the great love that bhaktas bore for Lord shiva burst forth in the form of devotional verses, which showcase the depth of their love for Lord Shiva, their desire to constantly think of Lord Shiva and also their indifference to material wealth.

When one sings of Lord shiva one’s heart must melt. That is the hallmark of true devotion ( bhakti ).

One devotee of lord shiva was a rich man , he could not bear to see lord shivas devotees hungry. He spent all his wealth providing food to devotees of the Lord, and in course of time, he lost all his wealth. But he did not stop what he had been doing all along, namely, the serving of food to Lord Siva’s devotees. He borrowed to meet the expenses. One night, during the monsoon season, a devotee turned up on his doorstep. He had nothing at home with which food could be cooked. So he went to the fields, where grains had been sown that afternoon. Because of the rains, the grains were lying exposed, and he gathered these and took them home. His wife washed away the mud, cooked the grains and served the visitor. After eating the food , he described himself as lord shiva.
