👉 Vacant Palaces in the Heaven

🔶 Once upon a time Rishi Varud arrived at heaven to meet Indra- the divine king. Indra greeted him and took him for a trip of the heaven. As a result of their good deeds on Earth many persons were leading a lavish life in the heaven. But in the center of the heaven the best of golden palaces were vacant. Noticing this, Rishi Varud asked, "Why are these fascinating palaces full of alluring amenities unoccupied?" 

🔷 "These palaces have been constructed for the saints and compassionate devotees of God," replied Indra, "They are lying vacant because the true saints do not want to come here and spend their time in pleasure. They derive gratification in public service on Earth." God's love and grace is reserved only for such devotees.
