Shabari waited 60 years and asked for nothing

You see, Mahashabhari waited 60 years for Lord Ram to come. You see, when he came, she brought out a list of demands, right? Huh? Did she? She should have, no, 60 years maybe you would have collected a lot of demand. She didn't bring out any demand. She said, she didn't even say, carry me, Lord. You see, I am old and my life is a burden, carry me. She said, here's my lap, you must not have rested. Since you left Ayodhya, come and rest on my lap. And Lord Ram said to her that I am feeling rested like I slept on the lap of my mother Kaushalya. That is how I am feeling after resting on your lap. Then also she didn't bring out her list of demand. She said, you must be hungry. You please eat these berries. And these berries I have tasted to make sure that they are sweet. She is offering herself in this way that these are the berries which I have tasted and only the sweet ones I have kept to serve you. So the story of Mahashabari is so illustrative of our entire spiritual life. Patience, faith, humility, serving God, those are paramount.
