Our Lala is telling Maiya an incident about
meeting a Guru. The Guru is muni Durbasa who was giving lecture on the bank of
Kalindi. Shree Krishna was playing with his sakha near kalindi and by chance he
listens to muni Durbasa's lecture. So, he comes back home running to maiya and
tells:
"Kali Gayou Kalindi Tat Houn, Khelan sanga sakhan
muni Durbasa Gyan diyo tahan, dai vedadi pramaan
kaho manuj tana kahan maati ko, ek khilona jaan
upajata mati te maati maha, milata anta sach
maan"
Here Lala is saying to maiya, "Maiya,
I was playing with Sakhas near Kalindi. There Muni Durbasa was giving Gyan. He
said that all of us are the toys made of mud and at the end we all will again become mud. He proved this by quoting Ved. Did you know this maiya? That means we all
are made of mud. Not only us, everything (even the food we eat) are made of mud." Maiya knows her Lala well. She is aware of his mischief. She knows
that Lala wants to impose something by telling muni Durbasa's story. So maiya
replies, "I know this Lala. Now tell me what do you want to prove?"
"Maiya kaha, 'yaha houhun janati, kahaa kahan chaaha
kaanha
Jo yaha jaana maye to kaahe, deti na maati khaana"
Shree Krishna comes to the point and says,
"If you know this, maiya then why don't you let me eat mud?" Lala is very smart but maiya is smarter than
him. After all she is his mother. So, she replies:
"Maiya kaha Lala ! maatihi te, upjata tarun lataan
jo khaiho maati toh nikasahi, taru nasa mukh kaan
Lala kaha aba kabahu na khaihou, manahu manahu
darapan"
Maiya says," ok ! fine Lala, you can
eat mud. But remember one thing, when you eat mud it will be deposited in
your stomach. And when you eat other things like apple, oranges and wheat etc
their will seed will go to your tummy. And, you know very well Lala, when the
seed is sowed in mud it germinates to a plant. That plant will grow and its
branches will come out of your nose and ears. Not only this Lala, your friends
will swing on those branches. Now just imagine Lala what will happen to
you?" After listening to such a bizarre result of eating soil, Lala gets
scared. Thus he vows (inwardly) never to eat mud again.
Listening to all these, Shree Kripalu ji
Maharaj gives his advice to Lala and says, "Look Lala, these Baba jis have
so many weird things to say. So, don't listen to the lectures of these
Babas."
"Kaha 'Kripalu' Hari aba jani suniyo, baban ko
byakhyan"
How sweet of our Lala and how sweet of
maiya. The padh becomes all the more sweet when Swami ji explains it. And sweet
of all is our Maharaj ji for blessing us with this Divine Leela in such a
beautiful manner.
