Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 One who believe Almighty without imposing any condition but pure faith is like Fire. The fire burns everything without retaining Paapa and Punya in one. Then one becomes " Aham Brahma " An old man was advised to worship Lord Shiva on the banks of Ganges. He was quite innocent and believed it and started for it. He reached a River thinking it as Ganges he started worshiping Param Shiva on its bank taking holy bath twice a day. Days rolled on, one day a saint happened to arrive at the banks and inquired the old what is he doing there. After hearing from him, the Saint said, Sir this River is not Ganga it is up in the north. The old man got discouraged and started for Ganges. He reached another River, considering it as Ganges he started his routine. In due course of time he was corrected that it was not Ganges. He went on spending his time at different Rivers thinking it as Ganges. Finally he was given the proper direction, so he headed for it. When Ganges was about 100m distance he fell down and died. The followers of Lord Shiva appeared to take him to Kailash. At the same time Lord Yama, the God responsible for termination also came there to take him to Yama Lok. Both the groups fought for the soul to be accompanied by them. There appears Lord and told both the groups that this person believed that the River in which he is taking dip twice a day as Ganga. That mere belief and faith qualified him for Kailash AUM Namah Shivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
