Someone had left two tubs out in the open. One was facing up, the other was facing down. Rains came and filled the tub with its face up. The other one, facing down remained totally empty. The empty tub was furious. He cursed the other tub as well as the rain. The rain told him, “Don’t be upset. I am not prejudiced. I provide water everywhere. The fault is entirely yours. If you turn your face up, I will fill you with water as well.”
The tub got the point and accepted his mistake. Telling this story to his disciples a monk said, “Just like rains, God’s grace is showering down everywhere. We must prepare ourselves to receive it by performing Upasana. Worship is not begging for alms, it is about preparing oneself to receive the grace of God.
