Believe in your ability

                                     Believe in your ability

Long ago, there lived a saint. People were saying that whatever he says,will happen for sure. He was very popular because of this.
One day, a king came near him. He was intented to aim the neighbour territory and to win it. He had come near saint asking his blessings. Saint blessed him saying that king will surely win the battle. King was very happy and he bowed to saint and went.
Now, the opponent king came for blessings. Saint knew that he is the opponent king and he said that it is difficult for him to win the battle.By listening to this, king determined that he will put his effort and rest lies in his destiny.
The king who got the blessing that he will win, was totally tension free now. His soldiers too by listening to the blessing,were seen merry making. Anyway they are going to win the battle. But on the other side, the picture is entirely different. That king was seen encouraging his soldiers to practice and was busy in making plans. They were practising.
Battle day came. Surprisingly, the king who got the blessing that he will win, actually lost the battle to opponent king . The loser king rushed near saint and complained that his blessings didnt come of any use and he had lost the battle.
Saint smilingly said " I just said that you will win. It is your duty to practice and prepare yourself. But you didnt do that. Your effort is most essential in such case than my words." Listening to that, king understood his folly.
