Once upon a time, there was a priest in a village who was quite known for his religious achievements. He used to hold mass gatherings and give sermons and religious lectures to the people of the village to inspire them towards God. One day, an old woman who was very devotional towards God was listening to his lecture. He was saying that whoever takes the name of Ram and does anything, gets full success. Also, the impossible can be made possible by the name chanting of Ram.
So, the old woman believed it totally. That day, she had to go to the other side of the shore to meet some of her relatives for some important purpose. Unfortunately, the boat was not available and she had to go, it was quite important. Then, she thought, let me chant the name of God and cross the water as the priest advised. She took the name of Ram and crossed the lake, and in the same way, she came back. While she was returning, she chanted and crossed over the lake by walking on it.
This was like a miracle and many villagers, including the priest, were watching it. After she arrived on the shore, the priest asked how did she manage to walk over the lake. Does she possess some extra powers?
Listening to this, the old woman said, "Oh venerable, it was as per your teachings that I crossed the lake, chanting the name of Ram. The Lord protected me and helped in crossing the lake." The priest was astonished that how it was possible for this to happen. So, he himself tried and started to drown, and two people jumped into the lake to rescue him.
Finally, he realized that the old woman’s devotion was true and that is why she received the help of the Lord. Merely chanting God's name is not enough, but chanting from the true devotion of Heart is beneficial and fruit-bearing.
Moral: Faith can move mountains and create miracles.
