The great sage Narada visited Mansarovar. Mansarovar was very pleased to host Narada. He pleaded Narada to answer his question, “O great sage, I am the tallest mountain peak, I possess pure air, most of precious metals, plants and creatures. Still I don’t get same respect as river Ganga. Why?”
Narada replied,” O great mountain, it’s because you’re not leaving in to serve the humanities. Ganga travels across the length and breadth of our country, offers it’s pure water, cleanse people’s sin, instil faith, and nourishes plants and trees. You don’t do anything as such in spite of possessing every thing.”
The Mansarovar realised it and saluted to the Sage Narada.
