one day Mohini Devi appeared to him and presented him with a "Kamdhenu (cow)". Whenever the cow's milk was sprinkled a heap of gold would form. Mahichandra sprinkled the milk in his kitchen and many delicious edible items appeared. Thousands partook of the same yet the stock remained full. Many miracles were happening but Mahichandra's eyes were fixed on the path of liberation.
It is clear that the mere reading of the scriptures is not enough. Contemplation of the same is essential. There was a panditji who was an exceptionally good orator. Unfortunately he never tried to understand the power of his discourses. Once a farmer's wife was passing by carrying some errands, when she heard Panditji's words, "He who contemplates on Ram can cross the ocean without difficulty". She was very much moved by these words. Faithfully she started repeating these words. She went to the panditji and humbly requested him to have dinner in their home.
While she was returning home it started raining heavily. The rivulet on the way was flooded. She hesitated to cross it but immediately she remembered the golden words "He who contemplates on Rama can cross the ocean without difficulty". Repeating it with great faith she stepped into the river and crossed it without any difficulty and reached home. After preparing the food she started waiting for the Panditji. Hours passed by and night broke out into day and day into night yet he did not reach. He arrived only at 12 noon.
The farmer's wife said to him “I have been waiting for you so long and the food has become stale now. Panditji said. "Oh fool, don't you know that the river was flooded. How could I come ? When the water came down, I sat, in a boat and came here." The devoted lady said, “But Panditji I came back immediately. Your great words showed me the way. How could a small rivulet stop me."
True devotion faith, and good work surpasses all difficulties. “There is no difficulty that true devotion faith and good works cannot surpass (overcome).
