"FAITH "
ONCE A ZEN MASTER WAS SAILING IN A SHIP WITH HIS DAUGHTER. MID-WAY A THUNDEROUS STORM BROKE OUT…LASHING HUGE WAVES AT THE SHIP.
AS THE SHIP WAS ABOUT TO SINK THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS WENT ON. ALL WERE IN A PANIC EXCEPT THE ZEN MASTER WHO SEEMED
VERY CALM.
SEEING HIM QUITE RELAXED,HIS DAUGHTER QUESTIONED HIM.. "OH,FATHER ! ARENT YOU SCARED AS THE SHIP MIGHT SINK & WE ALL MIGHT PERISH"
HEARING THIS,IMMEDIATELY THE ZEN MASTER,IN A RAGE PICKED UP HIS SHARP SWORD & DARTED IT ON HIS DAUGHTERS NECK.
BUT HIS DAUGHTER WAS NOT MOVED A BIT IN FEAR.
HE ASKED- "ARENT YOU SCARED,THAT JUST AN INCH MORE & THIS SWORD COULD CUT DOWN YOUR THROAT!"
HIS DAUGHTER REPLIED- "OH FATHER, YOU ARE MY MASTER & I`M YOUR CHILD SO WHY SHOULD I GET SCARED AS I KNOW YOU LOVE ME & I HAVE FULL FAITH THAT YOU WILL NEVER HURT ME!"
THE ZEN MASTER REPLIED -
" EXACTLY,MY CHILD…THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO PROOVE TO YOU…LIKE YOU, I HAVE FULL FAITH IN MY MASTER WHO IS THE UNIVERSAL POWER CALLED GOD & NO MATTER HOW GRAVE THE SITUATION MIGHT BECOME HE CAN NEVER HARM ME AS HE LOVES ME LIKE HIS OWN CHILD…SO THAT’S WHY THIS STORM HAS`NT BEEN ABLE TO AFFECT ME A BIT!!!"
MORAL -
ALL UPS & DOWNS IN LIFE ARE JUST SIMPLE WAYS OF GOD TO NOT ONLY CHECK HOW MUCH FAITH WE HAVE IN HIM BUT ALSO TO MAKE US STRONGER."
"LIFE IS A PACK OF CARDS ALREADY DEALT,
IT ALL DEPENDS HOW YOU PLAY WITH THEM"
