As Suradas, the blind saint, sat chanting the Holy Names of God, there approached him, daily, a Child of splendid beauty, who brought a good portion of food and milk. Gentle Suradas gladly accepted the food, and blessed the Boy, Whom he could not see, never realizing that it was Krishna Himself. For the Lord takes delight in rendering service unto His devotees. But the devotee seeks only to serve the Lord, never to be served by Him and so Krishna played this secret game of love. This is the sublime nature of competition in the spiritual life.
