An Excellent story. Please read through................
_*The Abundance Principle*_ :
Once a man got lost in a desert. The water in his flask had run out
two days ago, and he was on his last legs. He knew that if he didn't
get some water soon, he would surely die. The man saw a small hut
ahead of him. He thought it would be a mirage or maybe a
hallucination, but having no other option, he moved toward it. As he
got closer, he realized it was quite real. So he dragged his tired
body to the door with the last of his strength.
The hut was not occupied and seemed like it had been abandoned for
quite some time. The man entered into it, hoping against hope that he
might find water inside.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw what was in the hut - a water
hand pump...... It had a pipe going down through the floor, perhaps
tapping a source of water deep under-ground.
He began working the hand pump, but no water came out. He kept at it
and still nothing happened. Finally he gave up from exhaustion and
frustration. He threw up his hands in despair. It looked as if he was
going to die after all.
Then the man noticed a bottle in one corner of the hut. It was filled
with water and corked up to prevent evaporation.
He uncorked the bottle and was about to gulp down the sweet
life-giving water, when he noticed a piece of paper attached to it.
Handwriting on the paper read : "Use this water to start the pump.
Don't forget to fill the bottle when you're done."
He had a dilemma. He could follow the instruction and pour the water
into the pump, or he could ignore it and just drink the water.
What to do? If he let the water go into the pump, what assurance did
he have that it would work? What if the pump malfunctioned? What if
the pipe had a leak? What if the underground reservoir had long dried
up?
But then... maybe the instruction was correct. Should he risk it? If
it turned out to be false, he would be throwing away the last water he
would ever see.
Hands trembling, he poured the water into the pump. Then he closed his
eyes, said a prayer, and started working the pump.
He heard a gurgling sound, and then water came gushing out, more than
he could possibly use. He luxuriated in the cool and refreshing
stream. He was going to live!
After drinking his fill and feeling much better, he looked around the
hut. He found a pencil and a map of the region. The map showed that he
was still far away from civilization, but at least now he knew where
he was and which direction to go.
He filled his flask for the journey ahead. He also filled the bottle
and put the cork back in. Before leaving the hut, he added his own
writing below the instruction: "Believe me, it works!"
_This story is all about life_.
It teaches us that *_We must_ GIVE _before We can_ RECEIVE _Abundantly_*.
More importantly, it also teaches that *FAITH _plays an important
role in_ GIVING*. The man did not know if his action would be
rewarded, but he proceeded regardless. *_Without knowing what to
expect, he made a_ Leap of Faith*.
Water in this story represents the *Good things in Life* - something
that brings a _*smile to your face*_. It can be _Intangible
Knowledge_ or it can represent _Money, Love, Family, Friendship,
Happiness, Respect, or any number of other things you Value_ -
*Whatever it is that you would like to get out of life* - that's
water.
The water pump represents the _*Workings of the Karmic Mechanism*_.
Give it some *"Water"* to *Work with*, and it will *RETURN _far more
than you put in_.........!!!*
