What is Faith?
Once there was a Washerman (Dhobi). His job was collecting clothes from the entire village, loading them on his Donkey. Taking it to the river. Washing the clothes, drying them in the Sun and Bring back the fresh clothes to each house.
What is Faith?
Once there was a Washerman (Dhobi). His job was collecting clothes from the entire village, loading them on his Donkey. Taking it to the river. Washing the clothes, drying them in the Sun and Bring back the fresh clothes to each house.
Like any other day, Washerman leaves early morning, along with his Donkey. He collects clothes from each house. Loads it on his Donkey and reaches the nearby river. To his Dismay, today he has forgotten the ROPE with which he tied the Donkey to a Tree, while he gets on his Job.
Terrible beginning to the day (He thinks in his mind). "Without this ROPE, I cannot tie the Donkey & Donkey may wander away. I cannot keep an eye on donkey while washing and drying clothes. And If my Donkey wanders away, How will I deliver the clothes - an entire day wasted"
While he was worried, A Man was passing by. He saw the Washerman. He came up to him & asked "What happened, you look worried"?
Washerman narrated his ordeal.
The Man smiles and says "No problems, just pretend you are tying the ROPE and make sure the donkey watches you"

Washerman thinks, no harm in trying out the idea. With absolutely nothing in his hand, he pretends to get a rope. He ties it around the donkey, he stretches the rope to a nearby tree and ties the imaginary rope to the Tree.
Donkey watches him, doing all this.

The Idea works like Magic. For the entire Day, the Donkey just doesn't move. He keeps standing there, eating his food. The Washerman, while working at the River, keeps one eye on the Donkey. He cant believe, the Donkey stands still.
Now, it's evening. Washerman has finished Washing and Drying his Load of Clothes. He folds them appropriately and loads it on the Donkey.
He says "Hurrrrr". A Keyword for the Donkey to start moving. The Donkey doesn't move.
Washerman keeps repeating that word.

Donkey is rock steady, he refuses to budge from the place.
Washerman is worried again, however, he knows where the MAN who advised him (to tie an imaginary rope) stays.

Washerman Rushes to his home. "Sir, please help me. My Donkey just doesn't move."
The Man smiles and says, "Simple, just pretend to UNTIE the imaginary rope, complete the action in full and make sure the Donkey watches you"

Washerman does it and when he is Done. He says "Hurrr", the Donkey moves, just like he did every day.

The Donkey here is us and ROPE is our FAITH. If you BELIEVE in the supreme lord. He is There. If you don't believe, he isn't.

Though, the technical reason is, The Mans action of TYING the ROPE Superimposed the Fact in the Donkeys mind that he was TIED. Whereas, we all know, he wasn't tied.
Let us all pledge to TIE ourselves to the FAITH of the Supreme Lord.
वो है, और वो सुन रहा है
जय श्री राम
