Transcendence


A widow from a poor village in Bengal didn't hv enough money to pay her sons bus fare, and so, when the boy started going to school, he wud hv to walk through the forest all on his own. In order to assure him she said:
'Dnt  b afraid of the forest ,my son. Ask ur God Krishna to go with u. He will hear ur prayer.
The boy followed his mothers suggestions ;Krishna duly appeared ; and from then on , accompanied him to school every day.
When it was his teachers bday , the boy asked his mother for sum money to buy him a present. We Hvnt any money, son. Ask ur friend Krishna to get u a present.
The following day , the boy explained his problem to Krishna, who gave him a jug of milk. The boy proudly handed the milk to the teacher, but other boys presents were far superior and so the teacher didn't even notice his gift.' Take that jug of milk to the kitchen, said the teacher to the assistant. The assistant did as he was told. However, when he tried to empty the jug, he found that it immediately filled up again of its own accord. He informed the teacher, who was amazed and asked the boy: where did u get that jug, and hw does it manage to stay full all the time? 
' Krishna , the god of forest gave it to me.' 
The teacher, the students nd the assistant , all burst out laughing .
' there are no gods in the forest. That's pure superstition, ' if he exists let's all go and see him, said the teacher.
The whole group set off and the boy started calling for Krishna, but he dint appear. The boy made one last desperate appeal...dear Krishna , my teacher wants to see u , please show ur self! ...and started crying...
At that very moment, a voice emerged and echoed throughout the forest .
" how can he possibly want to see me, my dear...? He doesn't even believe that I exist ! ,,,,

.....a beautiful story..about  trusting and believing the invisible...
