EPIC tale of Lord Krishna and Sudama:
We all know the story of Krishna and Sudama on this day friendship let’s revisit it:
Lord Krishna and Sudama were childhood friends. While lord Krishna prospered and becomes rich, Sudama remains poor. Someday he didn’t even have enough food to feed his kids, seeing that one day Sudama’s wife asked him to take help from lord Krishna for which he first resist but later agreed because he didn’t want his kids to suffer.
As per custom his wife brought some rice from neighbours and gave it to Sudama for Krishna as a gift. After reaching Dwarika, Sudama was amazed to see such a beautiful city. As he was wearing a torn dhoti, he was obstructed by the guards. Sudama told them that he is lord Krishna’s friend and request them to tell him that he came to meet him. After knowing that his friend Sudama is here, lord Krishna ran barefoot to meet him and hugs him. Poor Sudama was resilient to give him the gift(rice) he got for lord Krishna but after lord Krishna’s constant urge for the gift, he gave him the rice he got for him. Lord Krishna eats the rice with great affection and love. Sudama was overwhelmed by the kindness shown by lord Krishna. They spend some time together and after that Sudama returned to his home without asking him for help. He was ashamed to ask for that.
To his surprise, his house was now a palace and his kids and wife were sitting there wearing fine clothes. It was Lord Krishna who did all this. Even without asking, lord Krishna knows what Sudama needs.
Moral of the story is: A friendship doesn’t differentiate on the basis of status. They are there with you when you need them.
