Intensity of Love

Dhanna Jat, a simple farmer. A priest told him, "Take this stone and worship it as Krishna. First of all, you have to feed it. Without feeding Krishna, don't eat yourself." For three days Dhanna Jat offered food to the statue but it didn't eat. If it were us we would say, "It's nothing; a statue is just a statue. How can a statue eat?" But Dhanna Jat's love was so strong that it was beyond reason. He thought, `May be God is very busy and that's why He is not coming here. Maybe Krishna has other appointments." But after three days he got angry. He took a stick and said, "Okay, Krishna, if you won't come down here, I'll hit you!" And Krishna quietly came, manifested himself, and ate the food. As he was about to finish off entire meal, Dhanna stopped him and said, "Leave something for me! Don't eat everything!" Such is the intensity of love. That intensity even caused the energy in the stone to manifest. And these people are called mad. But everyone is mad - some are mad after women, some are mad for alcohol, some are mad for money. And spiritual people are mad for God. Everybody's mad! You can choose to be mad for God or mad for this world. You have a choice.
