In Srirangam, there lived a great scholar and devotee called Parasara bhattar.

He wrote an illuminating commentary on the Vishnu Sahasranama.

He was having many disciples and he used to teach the different types of scriptures.

Every day one pandit used to walk across his

house with his numerous disciples. The pandit was very learned in the scriptures and adored by everyone.

Parasara bhattar was not paying full attention to him and not talking to him much.

At the same time, one poor brahmana who was a family man also used to walk by his house

everyday. He was not the master of any scriptures nor sanskrit. He used to collect alms from every house in his brass vessel and take it as his daily food. While doing so, he used to chant the holy names and some slokas even incorrectly sometimes.

Bhattar would eagerly go to him

Once there was a very learned Guru who was asked by his disciple: “Guru Maharaja, how can we know what pleases Krishna the most?”

The spiritual master answered, “Go to the burning ghat and offend the dead.”

At this the disciple went to the burning ghat and looked for some

corpses which were being prepared for cremation.

Then he offended them by saying, “You have wasted your life. Never was there a time when you spend your days remembering and praising Hari.
You are all total failures, materially and spiritually, and so on.”

When he returned,

his Guru asked him, “So what did the dead people answer?”

The disciple was surprised at this question and answered, “well Guru Maharaja, these people are dead, they can not answer a thing.”

“Very Good! Now go back to the ghat again and praise them!”

So the disciple went back

there is a story of Narada Muni, who was once asked by a brahmana: “Oh, you are going to meet the Lord? Will you please ask Him when I’m going to get my salvation?”
“All right,” Narada agreed. “I shall ask Him.”
As Narada proceeded, he met a cobbler who was sitting under a tree

mending shoes, and the cobbler similarly asked Narada, “Oh, you are going to see God? Will you please inquire of Him when my salvation will come?”
When Narada Muni went to the Vaikuntha planets, he fulfilled their request and asked Narayana (God) about the salvation of the

brahmana and the cobbler, and Narayana replied, “After leaving this body, the cobbler shall come here to me.”
“What about the brahmana?” Narada asked.
“He will have to remain there for a number of births. I do not know when he is coming.”
Narada Muni was astonished, and

A saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled ‘n asked.

‘Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?’

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said,

‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’

‘But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the saint.

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.

Finally the saint explained.

‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.
