WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN HIS PLACE ?

A person,who is a gambler, was eagerly awaiting chewing pan
(betel leaves with betel nut) on the terrace of his house, 
situated near the banks of river Godavari. A saintly looking 
holy man came to take bath in the river, took  his bath & was 
returning back. As soon as he came near the house, the 
gambler purposely spat on his head. The saintly man did not 
even bother to look up,leave alone shouting & scolding. 
       He went back to the river to take bath again.When he 
was returning back, the gambler spat on him again. The 
saintly man quietly went back to take bath again.The gambler 
spat on him again when he returned back.This went on from 
early morning till noon, by which time the gambler got fed up.
       The gambler came down & asked the saintly person, how 
is it that he did not get angry or shouted at him, even though 
he spat on him several times.
        The saint replied that he came to the river to take bath 
before doing puja to GOD,so that his body & mind are clean. It 
is easy to clean the body. If he would have become angry, his 
mind would have got polluted & it is more difficult to clean the 
mind than the body.Hence he did not get angry !       
         The saintly person in the above story is saint EKNATH. 
The gambler had taken a bet with his friends that he would 
make EKNATH to get angry, when they told him that EKNATH 
would never get angry ! A person who would not get angry at 
all is GOD !
He is egoless which means he has achieved MANO NASHA 

& he sees GOD in all !
