Show just a little devotion and Bhagavăn goes to any length to help you.
Thondaradipodi Ăzhwăr (Vipra Nărăyana) was a great devotee of the Lord. In his Păsuram 'Thirumălai' he repeatedly speaks of the glory of Năma (the Name of the Lord). In this, he sings, "Kăvalil pulanai vaithu kalidanai kadakkap păindu'. He had one-pointed devotion to Lord Ranganatha and his 'Thirumălai' depicts the deep anguish of a bhakta. Once a 'dăsi' (dancing girl) wearing the garb of 'Hari dăsi' (servant of Lord Hari) enticed him into her net of desire. One who had known only the Lord was now at the home of a 'dăsi'! All advices from his well-wishers fell on deaf ears. But what does the Lord do? HE works in the 'buddhi' of the bhakta and corrects him. Even if the bhakta falls in 'dur sangha' (bad company) due to fate, Bhagavăn does not forsake him but helps him out of it.
The 'dăsi' threw him out once she had sucked out all his wealth from him. What did Bhagavăn do on seeing his loving devotee cry at her doorstep? Calling himself the servant of Vipra Nărăyana, the Lord went to the 'dăsii's' home in the form a young boy and offered her a golden plate so that she would accept his devotee back!
On learning this, Thondaradipodi Ăzhwăr rushed to His beloved Bhagavăn and sang "Bhăviyen unnai allăl! Păviye! Păviyene "( never will I think of anyone else! a sinner that I am! a sinner that I am) and never again did he move away from Bhagavăn.
