The Lord: Eshtappan is my favourite disciple.
Narad: Who is that ?? Is he a saint ? A sincere priest ?
The Lord: No, None of these.
Narad: I am puzzled my Lord.....Please be kind enough to explain, My Lord.
The Lord: You will find the answer, if you carry this magical vase of sacred water across the 7 worlds, without spilling a single drop!
Narad: Of course, I am leaving at once!
After the long journey......
Narad: I have completed the task perfectly.....
The Lord: Ok, so you are ready to receive the answer now. Come lets visit Eshtappan.
Down on Earth, two insignificant bees patrol Esthappan's rented room......and monitor his daily activities. Esthappan is woken up by his alarm clock every morning, 20 minutes before his company bus arrives. He takes a quick shower, chooses an pair of used clothes and rushes to office. On the way, Eshtappan runs an eye across an open window. There he sees the Lord. He mutters a silent word of respect (Krishna....), and continues his brisk walk towards his workplace. The rest of the day is spent in a centrally air-conditioned building, where he slogs till its dark. At the end of the day he gathers his body and drags it back home. On the way back, he looks eagerly towards the window. It is closed, but he still offers his silent word of respect (Krishna...). Back home he sacks himself to his bed, only to be waken up by the alarm clock.
The smaller bee whimpers in complain, He is just an Nerd-Engineer working for an MNC. He is a slave to America. He does not know any matras, doesnt even go to the temple. The large bee replies....." When you crossed the 7 worlds, how many times did you remember me ?"
The bees buzz towards their heavenly abode.

Dhanesh i think the original story was abt a farmer who took the lords name even when working and not as a passing glance..sad though that lords need choose a guy as most devoted to be one who only prays over a glance..lesson for all of us or a famed fable for fun?
