A maidservant worked by cleaning utensils and washing clothes. She had a five-year-old son. Once, the villagers appointed her to serve a great saint during the four months of his stay. The mother taught her son to also serve the saint in whatever way he could. The boy did so faithfully, and over time he gained devotion, knowledge, and detachment. After his mother’s death, he sat under a tree absorbed in meditation. Soon he had the vision of God. In his next birth, he was born as a mind-born son of Brahma, and became renowned as Sage Narada.
