Once Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati was traveling on earth. Goddess Parvati saw thousands of people heading towards River Ganga to take holy bath as it was an auspicious day.Goddess Parvati wondered whether all these people will attain Moksha or liberation by bathing in River Ganga. So she asked Lord Shiva – do you think all these people heading towardsGangawill attain Moksha?
Lord Shiva laughed and said that only a dozen or so among them will get Moksha. Only that person who has come with devotion and pious mind will get Moksha. Only those persons who will not commit any sin after the holy bath will get Moksha. Most of these people that are waiting to take a holy dip have cometo perform it as a ritual and get over with a responsibility. Some are here to show off that theyare religious minded.Many of them are here to satisfy their ego of bathing inGanga.Shiva said that one who isreally yearning for Moksha will attain it here on this earth itself and forsuch people taking a dip and not taking one is of same value.
But Goddess Parvati argued that all the people here have come from far of places and they are spiritual, good and religious minded.
Shiva agreed to prove that He was right. Shiva disguised as a leper and Goddess Parvati disguised as his beautiful wife and went to the banks ofGanga. GoddessParvati as wife started asking people to help her husband perform the Ganga Snan so that he will be cured of leprosy.
Majority of the people ignored her and went to take the holy dip. Some said some sentimental words and showed sympathy but did not helpthe leper perform the holybath. Some advised the beautiful wife to leave theleper there and go home and get re-married. Some passed vulgar comments.Some asked her to get married to them.
After several hours and thousands of people passing by, a man came and helped the leper perform the holy bath. He remained silent and just said namaste to the wife and leper and went away.
Lord Shiva then said to Goddess Parvati that the man who helped the leperhas already attained Moksha. He has already realized that all that is here is nothing but the Supreme Being. He is silent, calm and serene. For him a leper and handsome man is the same.
