Once upon a time

Jai Sri Ganesha,

Once upon a time, Sage Vashista called on Sri Rama, Sri Rama received him with great reverence, laved his feet, and sipped the water into which they have been washed,

Listen, Rama said the sage with joined palm, I make my humble submission, O ocean of mercy, even as i watch your doings infinite bewilderment possesses my soul, Your immeasurable greatness is beyond the knowledge of Vedas, how can I describe it,

The vocation of a family priest is very low as per ancient scripture, smriti texts equally denounce it, when I would not accept it, Brahma, my father said to me, it will redound to your benefit hereafter, my son, Brahma itself, the supreme spirit will appear in human semblance as a king, 

Then I thought to myself, through this very office, I shall attain to him who is the object of yogic practices, the performance of sacrifices, religious practices vows and charity, thus there can be no other vocation like this,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
