Love IS Vedastra

Valmiki was a dreaded criminal . He had a family comprising of his wife , one son, one daughter and old parents . The forest he lived was a place nobody dared to cross . One day Rishi narda thought to improve the character of valmiki . He went to forest and was under the catch of the criminal . OK Narda said to valmiki , go and ask your members that how many are with you if you go to hell ? Valmiki tied the narda to a tree and went his home . No man you are earning the money in this way , we all are not with you , you alone go to the hell and right from today do not come here again , the family members replied in a common voice . Valmiki returned and caught hold the feet of Narda , O saint please help me not going to hell . Narda told this is nothing but LOVE you can offer to all . Nobody knows about tomorrow , so start from today . Valmiki understood , he freed narda , offered the fruits and fresh water and touched the narda’s feet . This was the daily routine of Valmiki from that day and he was gifted with the money from everybody he served and the forest was heaven , his family was happy . Valmiki recited the teaching given by narda…..aratha na dharama na kama ruchi gati na cahaun nirvana,
janama janama rati prem prati yaha baradanu na ana..
"I have no liking for wealth nor for religious merit nor for sensuous enjoyment nor
again do I seek the state of perfect and perpetual calm. Birth after birth let me have
devotion to : LOVE : this is the only boon I ask and nought else."
