When Krishna was placed in the weighing scale, Rukmini brought one Tulasi leaf and said, “One may offer a leaf, a flower, fruit, or even just water to God. I offer this Tulasi leaf to You. If it is true that you rescue the person devoted to You, I pray, let this leaf of Tulasi balance Your weight.” The sanctity of sacred thoughts and acts are not understood by many. Rukmini’s offering was filled with devout feeling, so it equaled the weight of Lord Krishna, who is the very Lord of the Universe. Rukmini accomplished this feat through her selfless devotion. What is the significance in the offering of a leaf? Body (deha) is a leaf (patram) with three attributes of Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Heart (Hrudaya) is a flower (pushpam). The flower of the heart is pure and sacred. Fro m this flower comes the fruit, mind with its sweet juice. You must offer this to God. - 'My Dear Students', Vol 3, Ch 3, Jun 30, 1996. | | |
