An old farmer lived on a farm with his young grandson.Each morning Grandpa was up early to read his Bhagavat Geeta. His grandsonwanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try toread the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it, What good doesreading the Bhagavat Geeta do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal inthe stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bringme back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leakedout (漏出) before he got back to the house. Thegrandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster nexttime," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. Thistime the boy ran faster, but again the same took place. He told his grandfatherthat it was impossible to carry water with a basket.

The old man said, " You're just not trying hardenough,"  So the boy again dipped the basket into the river and ranhard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. he said,"See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old mansaid, "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first timerealized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirtyold coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.

"You might not understand or remember everything,but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work ofKrishna in our lives."
