EXPLANATION
A devotee approached Jesus to help her from a serious suffering through a miracle. Jesus refused by saying that the miracles are for the lowest category, which is not having faith at all in God (atheists). Such miracles should not be extended to devotees also having already faith in God to interfere with the system of justice that gives punishments to serious sins. Especially, the devotees already having faith in God do not need miracles to interfere with the judiciary system of God’s government. Such devotion aspiring for a miracle to remove suffering is also very low and artificial since the pure devotion is never for such cheap exchange of unjust favour. The devotion should be pure without any such business, which is the true love aspiring no fruit for it. Hence, the need of a miracle is totally confined to the condemned quota only to generate faith in the existence of unimaginable God. Since the devotee has already fundamental faith, miracle is not required. Devotee is compared to dog indicating the already faith. Atheist is compared to child since the faith is absent due to total ignorance like that of a child. Here, bread means the spiritual knowledge given through miracle to establish faith in the existence of God.
The devotee asked that even dog eats the remains of bread. This means that even the dog is hungry for bread. This means that the devotee also looses faith in extreme suffering and hence should be treated like a temporary atheist. The Gita says that God gives first preference to such devotee to remove suffering that disturbs the divine service (Aarto...). But, the worst point here is that everybody feels his/her problem as the highest of all problems of all the entire humanity! The judgement of the seriousness of suffering should be left to God since He will remove such really serious suffering even if not aspired and presented by the devotee. Once the devotee presents the problem, it will be deeply analysed before action and hence, the solution gets delayed. The devotee told Jesus that the dog eats the crumbs falling from its master’s table. By this reply Jesus was pleased because the reply shows that the devotee is not having any trace of ego by which the faith becomes great. Even though presentation of problem is wrong as we see the reluctance of Jesus to do the miracle for the devotee, but, the faith not having the impurity of ego impressed the mind of Jesus to do the miracle.
