Krishna’s Flute

Everyday Krishna would visit the garden and say to all the plants. “I love you.” The plant were very Happy and responded by saying “Krishna we Love you too.” One day Krishna rushed quickly into the garden very alarmed. He went to Bamboo Plant and the Bamboo plant asked, “Krishna what is wrong?”

Krishna said, “I have something to ask you, but it is very difficult.” The Bamboo said. “Tell me, if I can I will give to you.” So Krishna said, “I need your Life. I need to cut you.”

The Bamboo thought for a while and then said, “You don’t have any other choice. You don’t have any other way?” Krishna said, “No, no other way.” And it said, “Okay” and gave himself up. So Krishna Cut the Bamboo and made holes in it, and each time, he carved the holes, the Bamboo cried in pain. Krishna made a beautiful Flute out of it and this Flute was with him all the time. Twenty four hours a day, it was with Krishna.

Even the Gopies were Jealous of the Flute. They said, “Look Krishna is our Master, yet we get to spend only some time with him. He wakes up with you, he sleeps with you, and all the time you are with Him.” Gopies asked the Bamboo, “Tell us your secret. Why does Krishna treasure you so much?” The Bamboo replied, “The secret is that I gave myself up and he did whatever was right for me.

Though in the process I had to undergo a lot of pain, but I am glad, as a result of this I have become his instrument.” This is complete surrender. Trust Him Completely and have faith in him and always know that you are in His Hands. What can go wrong? This is Sharangati.
