Untiring Love
In order to renovate the house, a man had to tear open the wall. The house
had a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls,
he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside
was hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at
the same time he is curious. When he checked the nail, turns out, it was
nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened?
The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition
for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he
wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since
its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and
what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appears
another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ahh! He was stunned and at the same time, touched deeply. For the lizard
that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10
years...
I am short of words. What can we call this? Faithfulness, Love, Devotion?
