The Faith



Faith


The wind that was blowing was very strong.  it was blowing away everything I it’s way.  A leaf was shivering in this wind.  A bird sitting on the nearby branch looked beneath and above the leaf – many times and asked “Are you not afraid that you would fall off as you are held by a thin petiole (stem)? 


The leaf smiled and replied, “The petiole may be thin but my faith in it is strong.  And it is so, because the petiole is attached to the tree.”

From the above story what i understood is
1)Tree=God
2)Leaf=Human beings(we all)
3)Stem=Sadhan
4)Winds=Desire,Anger,Greed etc & all other vikaras.

We have to have strong faith in god & keep doing sadhan then even though strong winds in the form of vikaras keep blowing we can stay in touch with god!!!

Am i right mam?
Did u tell this story with the same intention?
Pls reply!!
