A calf to quench its thirst moved towards a river. As it was enjoying sweet water, suddenly the river got flooded and the tender calf got drowned in the gush of water. The calf was struggling to save itself. This incidence was watched by the God and an Angel from heaven. The angel on observing the pity driven situation of the calf, requested the God to save the helpless soul. But, the God replied with smile, “Angel, don’t worry about the calf!”To save itself, the calf started to paddle recurrently in the water, this helped the calf to identify that it was competent in swimming. So, through its new identified skill, it started to swim against strong currents and was trying to reach nearby bank. But, unfortunately, a crocodile was waiting to satiate its hunger with open mouthed.
Now, on observing critical need of guidance to the helpless calf, the god moved from his abode to save the life of new born. After returning from earth, the God was queried by the angel, “Why my Lord, you didn’t went to save the calf, when I first prompted?” The God replied, “If I had moved to save the calf at first time, it wouldn’t have identified its innate competence!”
Nature sometimes teaches and sometimes guides. Teaching is done only to identify our original nature. So, failure is a coaching towards self-enlightenment. Realisation of this would create new realisation over life.
