The boat
was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be
drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

The woman
was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid?” This may be our last moment
of life! It doesn’t seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only
some miracle can save us; otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are
you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?

The man
laughed and took the sword out of its sheath. The woman was even more puzzled:
What he was doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck,
so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck.

She
started to laugh and said, “Why should I be afraid? If the sword is in your
hands, why I should be afraid? You are my husband. I know how much you love me.
I have complete trust upon you. I guarantee.”

He put
the sword back and said, “This is my answer too.” I know God loves me, and the
storm is in His hands.

SO
WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. (The Gita) If we survive, good; if we
don’t survive, its again good, because everything is in His hands and He cannot
do anything wrong.

So try to
develop trust upon God, the Almighty. This is the trust which one needs to
imbibe and which is capable of transforming your whole life. Any less won’t do!
