Power of belief

Long ago,there lived a saint near the river bank. One lady was supplying him milk everyday. Since she was living on opposite bank of river, she had to cross the river everytime.

She was taking help of a person who knew how to drive a boat. But that person is very irregular and because of that , woman sometimes is unable to supply milk to saint.

Once saint asked for her absence previous day. Lady said the problem. That time, saint jokingly asked her to practice walking on water by chanting the name of god. Lady took it seriosly.

From that day onwards she was regular on her duty. Saint was surprised. On asking . she said that now she dont wait for boat as she can walk on water.

Saint didnt believe her. Both of them went near river. Soon lady started to walk on water. By seeing her doing so even saint thought of trying.

But he was scared that his lungi may get wet. By seeing his dilemma woman said " if you believe in your ability that you are able to do a work, then nothing can stop you by achieving the goal ". By listening to the words, Saint was ashamed of himself.
