It was a matter of time that a monk lived in a village, he was a great devotee of God and used to do penance by sitting under a tree continuously. He had faith in Bhagwan and the villagers used to respect him.
There was a severe flood in the village once. Water started to appear everywhere, all the people started moving towards high places to save their lives. When the people saw that Sadhu Maharaj was still chanting the name of Lord sitting under the tree, he advised him to leave this place. But the sadhu said-
"You people save my life, my God will save me!"
Gradually the level of water went up, and the water reached the waist of a sadhu, so a boat passed from there.
The sailor said, "O Sadhu Maharaj, you will ride on this boat, I will bring you to a safe place."
"No, I do not need your help, my God will save me! "Sadhu replied.
The boat went quietly from there.
After a while the floods became overwhelming, the sadhari considered it proper to climb the tree and sit there and began to remember God. Then suddenly he heard the voice of Garagadhat, a helicopter arrived to help him, the rescue party hanged a rope and urged the sadhu to capture him loudly.
But the sadhu then said, "I will not catch it, my God will save me."
Rescue teams also left without him for their obstinacy.
In a while, the tree was flooded in flood and the sadhu died.
After death, the sadhu reached the paradise and spoke to God - "O Lord, I worshiped with your whole heartedness ... but when I was drowning in water, I could not save you, why is it Lord?
God said, "O Sage Mahatma, I came to save you three times, not one, first, as villagers, as the second boatman, and thirdly, as a helicopter rescue team. But you did not recognize these opportunities. "
Friends, God gives us many opportunities in this life, the nature of these occasions is such that they do not wait for anyone, they are like a running horse that passes faster than us, if we By identifying them by taking advantage of them they give us access to our destination, otherwise we have to repent later.
