This is one of the best one also from Robert E.Savoda.
At times even god unable to fathom what is our fate. Lord Indra has a Intelligent parrot, he wanted to know what is the fate of the parrot, when the parrot will die. He took the parrot and visited Lord Brahma the creator and asked when will my parrot die ? Brahma replied Im the creator, I won’t be able to know when the parrot will die. So both of them and parrot when to Lord Vishnu and asked the same, Lord Vishnu said, Im the protector I may not know the fate of the parrot, let’s go to Lord Shiva he might know as he is the destroyer, thus Lord Brahmma, Vishnu, Indra and Parrot went to see Shiva. Shiva being the destoryer is unable to determine he fate of the parrot, and HE does not do anything on this own intiative but act according to each fate and destiny . Let’s go and see Vidhata, he might be able to know said Lord Shiva. All of them Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra & parrot saw Vidhata and asked when will the parrot die.. Vidhata said, look at your parrot it already died. Indra was shocked to see the parrot leg flung facing the sky !!! Shiva asked for explaination from Vidhata, Vidhata explained, IT IS FATED THAT THE PARROT WILL DIE ONLY WHEN THE THRIMURTHY(BRAHMMA,SHIVA,VISHNU) COME TOGETHER TO SEE VIDHATA, THAT WAS THE PREREQUISITES FOR THE DEATH.
Lord Indra is the KING of all devas, but in the context of body, it represents sense organ. If the thought of Parrot has not succumbed his mind, the parrot might be alive, and he is the cause of his own action.
Moral of the story, if we’re able to control our own sensory organ Touch, Smell, See and sense we would be able to take charge of many shortcomings in our life. We must not respond to our Indriya (sense organ) blindly instead we should question ourself before acting. E.g What will be our response when we see someone we hate ?? We tend to shout, scold and even if the heated argument’s continue we might even use weapon to harm the other person. If we’re able to bring our sense into control and question ourself we might free ourself from adding another Karma effect. One need to repay for the abusive language that you have used, if you harm another person you may be adding or mutiplying the karma’s… To be Continued.
