A story from Big Saint EKANATHAR

Once a person came to the elite persons who were living near by Ekanathar's House.  He was a poor person but wants 200 Rupees(equivalent to a lakh today) and asked for their help. Those people who were thinking that Ekanathar is fake saint and they want to make him anger.  So the cunning people asked that poor man-if he want that 200 rupees he has to make Ekanathar angry.

 

That poor person is in despite need of money went to Ekanathar's Home.He saw Ekanathar is making pooja sitting in a small board.  He got into the house and sat just sat in that small board with Ekanathar.  Ekanathar moved little and gave space to that poor person.  After finishing pooja,the poor man wondering after Ekanathar's silence, thought for other tricks.
 

Ekanathar sat for his meals. While Ekanathar's wife is serving food,the poor man just jumped over her back,thinking that definetly Ekanathar will become anger.  Ekanathar cooly told his wife-your son had climbed your back,I think he is hungry,give him food.  After hearing this,immediately the poor man feel into Ekanathar feet.Feeling guilty,he asked how he was so cool without getting any anger.
Ekanathar replied-if you go to a shop and if you have no money,how will you spend.  The poor man replied-I cant spend as I have no money. Ekanathar told-Likewise I have no anger in me,so I can't use any anger to anyone.

Important Note:  Ekanathar got service (from waking him till pressing his legs while sleeping in night)from a small boy for 11 years.  That small boy is none other than Dwaraka's Lord-Sri Krishna
