> The village elders could not stop scratching their

> son? You cannot cut up a horse. They puzzled over
> this
> dilemma for more than two weeks and then decided to
> send for a wise man who was living in a neighbouring
> village.
>
> The wise man came riding on his horse and asked the
> villagers if he can be of any help to them. The
> village elders told him about the rich man's last
> will
> and testament which stated that half of the (19)
> horses must be given to his only son, one fourth
> must
> go to the temple and one fifth to the faithful
> servant.
>
> The wise man said he will immediately solve their
> problem without any delay whatsoever. He had the 19
> horses placed in a row standing next to one another.
> Then he added his own horse as the 20th horse. Now
> he
> went about giving half of the 20 horses – that is
> ten
> horses to the son. One fourth of 20- that is 5
> horses
> were given to the temple committee. One fifth of
> twenty- that is 4 horses were given to the faithful
> servant. Ten plus five plus four made 19 horses. The
> remaining 20th horse was his own which he promptly
> mounted, spoke a few inspiring words, and rode back
> home.
>
> The villagers were simply dumfounded, full of
> disbelief and filled with admiration. And the
> parting
> words of the wise man were inscribed in their hearts
> and minds which they greatly cherished and passed on
> to their succeeding generations till today.
>
> The wise man said: In our daily lives, in our daily
> affairs, simply add God's name and then go about
> facing the day's happenings. Ever come across
> problems
> in life that are seemingly insurmountable? (Like the
> villagers, do we feel that such problems cannot be
> solved?).
>
> The wise man continued: Add the God Principle in our
> daily lives and the problems will become lighter and
> eventually will disappear. In the manner of the ice
> which, with the addition of the heat principle will
> turn into water, and that will eventually evaporate
> as
> steam and disappear. And how do we add God's name
> (God
> principle) in our daily lives? Through prayers,
> filled
> with true love and devotion with sincerity of
> purpose
> and dedication that only total faith can bring
> about.
> Meditation is a powerful means of directing the mind
> Godward.
>
> But without true love and devotion entering into it,
> it remains like a boat without water. It is not
> difficult to push a boat that is floating in water,
> but extremely hard to drag the same boat on dry
> land.
> In the same way, if our life's boat floats on the
> waters of true love and devotion, we can sail easily
> in it. The principle of love of God and devotion
> with
> total faith, (like water) makes easy the voyage of
> our
> lives. When the mind is pure and the heart full of
> simplicity and holiness, such a devotee becomes an
> instrument in the service of the Lord.
