Where there is a will, there is a way

The book talks about the story of Dhruva. Even though Dhruva was only five years old, he was determined to find God. He had no idea about meditation or penance. But he was fearless and set out anyway. Narada, the celestial sage taught him how to meditate and sent him to Madhuvana. In the end, Dhruva attained the blessing of Lord Vishnu.

Where there is a will, there is a way and God shows us that way. So true, isnt it?

Significance of Gajendra's story

The Story of Gajendra (The king who was transformed into an elephant) has a deeper significance. In this story, Gajendra enters a lake and plays with his friends when he is trapped by a crocodile. He tries to free himself but is unsuccessful. None of his friends are able to help him. The elephant surrendered to God.  God alone was able to rescue him.

The significance in real life is - all of us (humans) are like Gajendra. The lake that he entered is like this world, where we live with other people (friends, family etc.). The grip of the crocodile symbolizes the calamities and troubles that we face.

The takeaway from this story is that - while we live in this world with our family, friends and society, when we face problems, the only one who can rescue us is God.
