The jagadguru's Simple Wish

Once when SrI abhinava vidyA tIrtha of Sringeri was wishing to observe an insect that had burrowed into the ground, he poked a small hole in a leaf and placed a drop of water over it to create a magnifying glass.



It might have been easy for him to pass on his way, since he did not have a magnifying glass. However, SrI abhinava was focused on his intention to the degree that he was able to creatively use the resources available to fulfill his simple wish.

This is an excellent example for anyone.
