A saint once was set upon and badly beaten by a band of ruffians. His brother disciple later found him, lying unconscious by the road. They carried him back to their ashram and nursed him lovingly back to consciousness. One of them was pouring a little milk into his mouth when the saint started to open his eyes.

"Do you recognize who it is that is feeding you?" his brother enquired gently. 

"Yes," said the saint with a blissful smile. "The same One who beat me earlier!"
