Universal Being

Yudhishthira wanted to perform a sacrifice after he was blessed with being coronated as king. Thousands and thousands of people were being fed. He was eager to know how many people were eating. He asked the great sage Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, “Maharaj, please arrange some contrivance by which I can know how many thousands are eating.”
Vyasa said, “Okay, I will tell you.” He hung a bell which was charged with a mantra, and said, “When one thousand people eat, it will ring once.” So whenever there was a dong sound, Yudhishthira knew that one thousand had eaten, and another dong meant two thousand had eaten, and the third dong meant three thousand. He was very happy.
The feeding went on for hours; and when evening fell, all the people departed. Then the bell started ringing continuously. It rang faster than it did earlier. “What is this? When everybody has left and nobody is eating, it is ringing like this. Is there something wrong with the bell?” Yudhishthira went to the great master Vyasa. “Great sage, how is this that the bell is ringing continuously, as if millions are eating? There is nobody here. All have left. Is there something wrong with the bell?”
Vyasa said, “No, there cannot be anything wrong with the bell. My apparatus is perfect. There is some mystery behind it. It means there is something happening which is unthinkable.”
They went to find out whether someone was eating, but they found nobody. The young boy, Suka Maharishi, who was perpetually united with the Supreme Absolute in his consciousness, was found picking up grains of rice from the leaves that were thrown after the people were fed and had left, and at each grain that he put in his mouth, the bell started ringing. That is, one grain entering the mouth of this great being was like thousands eating at the same time. Yudhishthira saw this phenomenon. He was surprised to see this little boy, at whose eating of a grain the bell started ringing. He went to Veda Vyasa. “There is some boy there, some mystery, who eats grains and then the bell starts ringing.”
“Oh, this is my son,” Vyasa said. “He is the Universal Being himself, and if a grain enters the universe, the whole thing is satisfied. That is why the bell is ringing. It is to tell you that your sacrifice is nothing. Your feeding of thousands is nothing before the grain that this one boy eats.”
