It needs willpower !
A sage was living in a hut near the river bank. He was very popular in surroundigs. Once a rich man came near him with a bag. He offered the bag to sage. Sage asked the rich man what is inside the bag? Rich man said bag contains some gold coins. By keeping that, rich man wanted sage to teach him the way to see God . Sage listened to everything.
Then sage said first the rich man has to become his follower. Seeing his mental strength, he will help him to achieve his goal. Rich man was very happy and he readily agreed to be sage's follower. Sage said as a follower, rich man has to obey his orders.
Rich man agreed for that also. Sage gave him his first assignment. He asked rich man to throw the bag containing gold coins to river. Rich man was taken aback. But without saying anything, he left with the bag to river bank. After reaching river , rich man visualised how did he struggle for earning the money. He was not at all ready to throw them to water.
Finally, he thought he will count the coins and throw a quarter of it to water and rest of them, he will keep for himself. He sat on ground counting the coins. Sage seeing that rich man didnt return, he came to river bank. There he saw the richman sitting on ground and counting coins.
Sage asked him what is he doing? Rich man said he had not mind to throw the coins to river. That's why he wants to keep some of it to himself. Sage smilingly replied "It needs willpower to leave everything and go in search of God. When you win over your ambitions, then it is right time for searching God. Now you can leave".
