The foolish frog?
Radhe Krishna To all,
In this Yuga, three activities are alone enough to attain the Lord –worship in temples, Satsang, and Nama Kirtan. Satsang here, means the reading of Srimad Bhagavatam, listening to the stories and qualities of the Lord, the lives of great Mahans etc.
Even if the first and second are not possible, I can assure you that the Divine Name alone can make you attain God.This is certain and it is the only way!
---------Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

The foolish frog?
The
throat of a snake is only as thick as a needle. So when it catches a
prey, it takes a tremendously long time to ingest it. The snake does
not use its tongue to kill its prey. This is because the venom present
in its tongue could prove detrimental to itself. So it only crushes the
prey and ingests it.
When
a frog is caught in the jaws of a snake, it sits there for an extremely
long time (until it is consumed via the snake's throat) alive, not
knowing that it is truly in the jaws of death. In the mean time, the
frog happily sticks out its tongue and tries to catch the flies and
insects to satiate its hunger!
Similarly, we are all in the jaws of the snake called
death. This venomous snake consumes us instant by instant. We have lost
as much percentage of our life to death as our age is! Oblivious of
this fact, we indulge in worldly matters and mundane pleasures akin to
the foolish frog.
Should
we not be afraid of death? Should we not make the best use of our time
and surrender unto the Lord by chanting His Name always?
