The Firm Devotion

A sage was living in a solitude (hermit), which was situated on the bank of a river. Early in the morning, an illiterate old lady was coming from the other side of the bank to fetch milk for the sage. She was coming in the boat. This was going on for several days. One day she asked the sage, “Sir, in the event of heavy rain the boat stops playing, how can I bring you milk?”

“Good question! Chant the name of God, ‘Ram’ uninterruptedly with firm devotion till you reach the other side of the bank.”

Once the old lady faced a similar situation and did what the sage had told. She reached her destination unknowingly.

Sage was surprised to see her coming under a difficult situation. Out of curiosity, the sage asked, “How did you walk on the current?”

She replied politely.

Sage wanted to test for himself. He wanted to walk on the current by chanting ‘Ram’. But he failed to move an inch and returned with great disappointment.

The moral of the story is firm devotion in the Almighty.
