Put your efforts first , pray to God next

 When doing any work , we must sincerely put our efforts first , then we can pray to

 God that it should be successful .

Once a sage was traveling through a desert with his follower . They had hired a

 camel to pass the desert . That day it was getting dark and both of them are tired.

They decided to stop their journey and to take rest . Sage ordered his follower to

 feed the camel and to tie it to nearby tree . Even the follower was tired. He fed the

 camel but forgot to tie it and fell asleep requesting the God to take care of the

 camel .

It was morning of next day . Sage observed that camel is missing and questioned

 the follower about that . Follower said he had prayed to God to take care of camel

 and thinking that God will listen to his prayers , he fell asleep .

That time sage said , God will definitely help but not coming in person . We must

 sincerely put our efforts first . We must not except the God to do the whole work

 for us . There must be contribution from our side also . God will not help lazy

 people .

Follower understood what his teacher wanted to say . It is his fault that he didn't

 tie the camel .
