Once, a poor woman visited the temple of Lord Ganesha and offered him a coconut as a symbol of her devotion. She was worried that the coconut was not of good quality and felt embarrassed to offer it to Lord Ganesha.
Lord Ganesha, in his wisdom, accepted the coconut and blessed the woman. As the woman left the temple, she heard a loud sound, and she turned around to see that the temple was shaking. She was terrified and ran back to the temple to see what was happening.
To her surprise, she saw that the coconut she had offered was split open, and gold coins were pouring out of it. Overwhelmed with joy, the woman fell to her knees and thanked Lord Ganesha for his kindness.
This story teaches us that it is not the value of the offering that matters, but the devotion with which it is given. It also emphasizes the importance of humility and that Lord Ganesha blesses those who offer with a pure heart.
