This is the story of the Buddha of compassion. One day the Buddha goes to God and says, there is too much to do here, there is so much need and I only have two hands. God said, we will take care of that so He broke the Buddha into pieces and rebuilt him with four hands. After a while Buddha comes back to God and says, there is so much need, there is not enough time, I have no helpers and all I have is four hands. Again, God disassembles Buddha and remakes him with six hands. The ancient story eventually goes to the point where God has created the thousand armed Buddha. At this point God is not demanding more than you can perform. He is just intending for you to perform to your capacity. To go beyond your capacity as a human is to dip into the divine.
