The King\u2019s Finger.
\nOnce upon a time, there lived a king. The king was very kind and ruled his people very well. One day he accidentally cut his finger. The king cried aloud and his minister who was a devotee of Krishna came running and saw that the king has cut his finger.
\nThe minister tying a cloth to the king\u2019s finger said, \u201cDear king, don\u2019t worry, whatever happen it\u2019s is the mercy of Krishna. So be happy and thank your luck and thank Krishna\u201d
\nThe king got very angry and said, \u201cWhat nonsense you are talking. The blood is coming out. I am crying in pain. You say this is the mercy of Krishna. You are a big fool. I will throw you in jail\u201d. Shouting thus, the king got his minister thrown in jail. The minister smiled and said aloud, \u201cWhatever happened is the mercy of Krishna! Thank you Krishna!\u201d
\nBut one fine morning the fat king went alone for hunting in the forest. There were no guards no ministers with him. He soon lost his way in the forest and landed in an enemy\u2019s tribal kingdom.
\nSuddenly the tribal king and his soldiers rounded up the king and tied him to a tree. The tribal soldiers then drank and danced around the king and shouted, \u201cLet this king be sacrificed to our Kali\u201d. Shouting thus, they all prepared the king for the big sacrifice to Kali devi.
\nThe king was sad as there was no minister with him to advise how to escape. He was weeping with tears running down his eyes.
\nThe tribal king and the priest came to inspect the king and saw that the king had a bandage on his finger.
\nThe priest then said to the tribal king, \u201cSir, this king has already cut his finger and the blood has already come out of him. But for our Kali we need fresh blood and a whole body without any cuts. Therefore, this king is unfit to be sacrificed and let him go back to his people.\u201d The tribal king agreed and set the king free.
\nThe king got back to his kingdom and related the story to his minister who was in jail. The minister then smiled and said, \u201cSee I told you that whatever happens is the mercy of Krishna and is for our own good !
\nOn that day, you cut your finger it saved your life ! And when you put me in jail it also saved my life !\u201d The minister said smiling.
\nThe king was surprised and asked, \u201cHow\u2019s that !\u201d
\nThe minister replied, \u201cSee, wherever you go I have to be with you. But on that day I was in jail. So I did not come with you. If I had come with you, the tribal king would have sacrificed me because my body was whole and there were not cuts on me. This way I too was saved !
\nYou cutting your finger and me going to jail both happened to our own good! That is what I believed. And this is the moral philosophy that everyone should believe\u2026 \u201cwhatever happens, happens for our own good and it is the mercy of Krishna !\u201d
\nIf we strongly believe in this moral philosophy we will really stop worrying and make our lives happier and happier\u2026 forever and ever ! Putting our lifes in hands of Krishna is the most secure way to live our life.

\nThe king got very angry and said, “What nonsense you are talking. The blood is coming out. I am crying in pain. You say this is the mercy of Krishna. You are a big fool. I will throw you in jail”. Shouting thus, the king got his minister thrown in jail. The minister smiled and said aloud, “Whatever happened is the mercy of Krishna! Thank you Krishna!”
