The Freedom of True Devotion
In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (11.5.41), it is expressed that surrendering to Mukunda (Krishna) liberates a devotee from all worldly obligations. In our lives, we often feel bound by responsibilities to family, society, ancestors, and even the natural world. These obligations can create a sense of burden and attachment, keeping us entangled in material concerns. However, this verse beautifully highlights that true spiritual freedom is achieved through complete devotion to the divine. By wholeheartedly embracing Krishna as the ultimate refuge, we transcend these worldly debts and responsibilities. Our focus shifts from fulfilling material duties to nurturing a profound connection with the divine. This surrender leads to spiritual enlightenment and liberation, allowing us to live with peace and joy. Devotees are advised to prioritize their relationship with Krishna, as this path offers liberation from worldly ties, granting ultimate peace and fulfillment in life.

A tiger overheard their conversation. The tiger appeared and mocked the donkey, claiming that he didn't even know the color of a mango.

In a forest, there lived a donkey who convinced his fellow animals that the color of a mango was blue. They all believed him and praised him for his intelligence. A tiger overheard their conversation. The tiger appeared and mocked the donkey, claiming that he didn't even know the color of a mango. The tiger tried to convince the other animals not to trust the donkey, calling him the most foolish one in the forest. The tiger asked - 'Are you all fools? Don't you all know that the colour of a mango is yellow? Donkey and tiger got into a heated argument that lasted for hours. All the other animals in the forest, including the rabbit, giraffe, deer, bear, wolf, elephant, and monkey, gathered around to listen. Despite their efforts, the donkey and tiger couldn't come to an agreement. So, the animals decided to seek the wisdom of the forest's king, the Lion. They all went to the Lion. The donkey claimed that the mango is blue, while the tiger insisted it is yellow. The Lion, praised the donkey as intelligent, sided with him and banished the tiger from the forest as punishment. The other animals left, leaving the confused tiger alone. The donkey had been spreading false information, while the tiger had spoken the truth. When the lion punished the tiger instead of the donkey, the tiger questioned the lion's decision, asking why he was being punished for telling the truth. In a fable, a wise Lion imparted some valuable advice to a Tiger about arguing with fools. The Lion acknowledged that the Donkey was a fool, but argued that trying to convince a fool with logic and reason was a futile endeavor. The Lion believed that arguing with a fool only made the arguer look foolish themselves. The Tiger took this lesson to heart and decided to stop wasting his time arguing with fools.
