Growing in God's Love

There was a merchant in Maharastra who was notorious because of his miserliness. Panduranga went to him in disguise as a beggar but the merchant turned him out. When the lord went to beg of the merchant’s wife, she gave ornaments to him. God took it back to the merchant and asked him to give money for the jewel. Suspecting the ornaments to be his wife’s the merchant had Panduranga wait and went to check out on the ornament. But the jewels were very much in his house – Paduranga had kept a similar one in its place. That is how God responds to love shown to him.

God is ready to be at your beck and call. But you should be able to intoxicate and bowl over God with your love. So when you nurture and grow your love for god, you will benefit from such experiences, instead of asking what God has given you, raise your thought to the Lord. You will be able to bask in the warmth of God’s love then.

HE is ready to undergo anything for the sake of love and looks forward to an ongoing relationship flooded with the bliss that only love can bring.
