蘇達瑪是克里希納一起成長、求學時的好友。
克里希納成為一個國王，蘇達瑪卻是一個非常窮的人，他一無所有。一天, 蘇達瑪的妻子告訴他 :「看 ! 克里希納是你非常親密、親愛的好友。你為什麼不去找他尋求一些幫助」？
蘇達瑪有點害羞，「我怎麼能對一個朋友要東西？我不想這樣做。」
但...,別無選擇了，他決定去見克里希納。
在印度有一個習俗，你不會空手而去見某人。那麼，他可以帶些什麼呢？他什麼也沒有。他一身破衣，太窮了！在家裡，他有些米糠餅。所以他用一塊布包了些餅，帶著去見克里希納。
他進了富麗堂皇、有美麗裝飾的宮殿。克里希納坐在他的王位寶座上，許多奴僕圍繞著。
當他看見蘇達瑪的時候，他衝跳下來，然後為他洗了腳，請他上座。
他讓他安座在自己的王位上。然後克里希納問蘇達瑪 :「你為我帶來了什麼？來吧！」克里希納總是調皮，他總喜歡開玩笑。所以他說，「你帶來了什麼呀？」他知道他自己很害羞，他想要把帶來的米糠餅藏起來。「我怎麼能供奉這些米糠餅？」蘇達瑪自問..，隨後克里希納就逮著，抓住它了，他接著把那米糠餅全塞進他自己的嘴巴裡了。老朋友相見是如此的喜悅，蘇達瑪甚至忘了要要求任何東西，忘了他是為什麼來見克里希納的，而克里希納也忘記送他任何東西！
他們彼此都忘了！
當兩個靈魂在這樣深厚的友誼情感相遇時，他們忘我了!
蘇達瑪謝謝克里希納，然後離開了宮廷。據說，當蘇達瑪回到家中時，他發現他整個房子被改造了，他的房子裡有了所有的財富。他的妻子很高興的說:有人帶了許多的禮物來。
沒有要也沒有給。
所以說，從任何角度，你都看到了一體性，
有一個獨特性存在於克里希納的人格特質。
那正指出你也是如此。你最內在的本性有這所有的特質，
像一束陽光有所有的顏色。通過棱鏡，所有的顏色都顯現。
但相同的光線通過黑色或藍色或紅色玻璃，反射的只有那種特定的顏色。但是通過棱鏡，七彩出來了。
克里希納是這樣一個棱鏡，如此清晰，如此充滿喜悅、歡樂。
無法說克里希納過去是，克里希納現在是，因為
祂是永恆的存在，永不會幻滅。
克里希納說：「雖然我在身體裡，我不是這個身體。雖然我正在經歷心靈，我不是心靈。我不是你所看到的我。我遠大於你所能感知的我」。
同你一樣的，我在你的心裡。
任何時候你需要我，你呼喚我，我會與你同在，帶出你的煩惱和困難。
你可以總是倚望著我!

Sri Sri bolger krishna-sudama/ ( English)
Sudama was one of the friends who studied with Krishna.
Krishna became a king, and Sudama was a very poor man, He did not have anything at all. And once Sudama’s wife told him, “See, Krishna is your very close friend, dear friend. Why don’t you go and ask him for some help?” Sudama was a little shy, “How can I ask a friend for something? I don’t feel like doing it.” But when there was no other way to go, he decided to meet Krishna. There is a custom in India that when you go to meet somebody, you don’t go empty-handed. So what could he take? He had nothing. His clothes were torn. He was so poor! And then at home, he had few rice krispies. So he packed them in a piece of cloth and took them to Krishna.
He entered the palace, it was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Krishna was sitting on his throne, and there were so many servants around. And the moment he saw Sudama, he rushed down, and washed his feet and offered him his own seat. He put him on the throne. And then Krisha asked Sudama, “What have you brought for me? Come on!” Krishna is always mischievous, he would make fun all the time. So he said, “What have you brought?” He knew that he was so shy, that he was trying to hide his rice krispies. “How I can offer these rice krispies?” asked Sudama, But then Krishna grabbed hold of it and caught on, and then he went on stuffing it in his mouth. The joy of meeting his old friend was so much that Sudama even forgot to ask anything and forgo why he had come to meet his friend and Krishna forgot to give him anything! They both forgot!
When two souls meet in such deep friendship, they forget everything.
Sudama thanked Krishna and left the palace. And it is said, when Sudama went back to his home, he found his whole house was transformed, and he had all the riches in his house. His wife was very happy. Somebody had come with a lot of gifts. Without asking and without giving.
So it’s said, from any angle you see there is a totality, there is a uniqueness in Krishna’s personality.
And that is to indicate that you are like that. Your innermost Self has all the qualities in it, like a ray of sun has all the colors in it. Through a prism, all the colors get manifested. But the same ray of light through a black or blue or red glass reflects only that particular color. But through a prism, the rainbow comes out. And Krishna was such a prism, so clear, so full of joy. It’s wrong to say Krishna was. Krishna is, because it is the eternal presence that is never lost.
Krishna says “Though I am in the body, I am not this body. Though I am working through the mind, I am not the mind. I am not what you see me as. I am much more than what you perceive me as. I am present in your heart as you. And anytime you need me, you call me, I’ll be right there with you, to take you out of your troubles and difficulties. You can always count on me.”
