Faith

Since there was no rain in a village, all village people approached a
priest to get his opinion. The priest said,' we need to perform
Yagnya for the rain.' Village people told him to find a suitable day
and requested him to perform Yagnya. A day was fixed for the same.
In the early hours on that day, all villagers were ready to go for the
yagnya. One small boy in a house asked them,' where are you all
prepared to go?' The villagers told,' Yagnya is going to be performed
by a group of pandits for the purpose of rain and hence we are all in
a hurry to go.' The boy who is holding the Umbrella told the crowd
why are you all rushing without taking the Umbrella. The rain will
come and all will be drenched.'

The above story conveys the message of the Un-shakable faith. Pandit
performed the rituals just like any other regular duty. Villagers
were rushing just to fulfill the requirement of formalities with the
state of mind of doubt. The boy only had the Faith of definite result
of rain if the yagnya is performed and hence he was prepared to go
with the Umbrella.

Christ said,' A Seed of faith will move the mountain.'. People
thought his miracle cured a leprosy and diseased and told ,Sir, your
miracles cured them.' For which he replied,' I did not cure them .
Their Faith cured their disease and not me.'
