I had a
friend who was always looking for people whom he could help. He could never see
anyone suffering. He would get so involved in the problems of others that he
would forget his own.
I had read
in our scriptures that persons with ‘Devi Prakarti’ are the ones who are always
concerned about the welfare of others. They would even find how the enemies after
death could go to heaven and not the hell. Indeed it was the concept of ‘Ma
Durga’ who would want to destroy the demons with her swords and/or other arms
instead of destroying them with a just a fierce gaze. It had been further
explained that the very touch of the arms of Mata Durga is enough for the salvation
of these demons. Devi thus bestows salvation and not damnation even of demons
But, Badri
was not an angel. He was a human being like all of us.
Due to his extreme concern for others, his own business invariable suffered. Most of the time he was in financial difficulties. His wife remained upset and the family life was disturbed. Poor benevolent Badri.
