Quote

There is a story about a great sage, Narada, who came to Vishnu.

When Narada came to Vishnu, he said, ‘What is the secret of your Maya?’ And Vishnu took him and threw him into a pool.
The moment he fell under the water he was born as a princess in a very great family, and went through all the experiences of childhood as a little girl. She finally married a prince from another kingdom and went to live with him in his kingdom. They lived there in tremendous prosperity, with palaces and peacocks, but suddenly there was a war and their kingdom was attacked and utterly destroyed. The prince himself was killed in battle, and he was cremated. As a dutiful wife, the princess was about to throw herself weeping on to the funeral pyre and burn herself in an act of Sati, or self-sacrifice.  But suddenly, Narada woke to find himself being pulled out of the pool by his hair by Vishnu, who said: 'For whom were you weeping?’
