It Was True That Our Company Had Finally Managed To Acquire A Large Contract, But Things Still Werent Going The Way Wed Have Liked.Although Everyone Was Working Very Hard The Results Werent Comparable To The Efforts. Additional Financing Was Urgently Needed.Without These Funds,the Company Would Be Unable To Increase Production To Meet The Necessary Requirements Of The Contract. There Was Even The Possibility Of Having To Dissolve The Corporation, But I Didnt Like To Think About That.At Our Last Meeting, Gideon Had Mentioned That He Wanted Me To Meet With One Of His Friends In The Big City. If There Was A Possibility That It Could Lead Me To The Proper Contacts For A Business Loan, I Was Even More Interested Than Before. If Nothing Came Of It, At Least I Wouldnt Have Left Any Stone Unturned. It Might Even Turn Out That The Meeting Would Be Enjoyable And There Were So Few Fun Things I Did These Days. I Thought Id Call Gideon And See If I Could Make Arrangements To Go With Him Soon To Visit His Friend.As I Searched My Desk For His Business Card, The Phone Rang. Of Course, It Was Gideon. I See That Youre Ready To Go To The Big City, He Said. Ill Meet You In Your Parking Lot At Nine-thirty Tomorrow Morning.Without Waiting For A Reply,he Hung Up.At Nine-thirty The Next Morning, I Was Walking Toward My Car In The Parking Lot When I Spotted Him. He Was Standing At Attention Near My Car, Waiting For Me. Few Things Surprised Me About This Man These Days. Good Morning, Gideon. Readyto Go? I Asked.Sure, Let's Go. Im Positive Youll Have A Fine Morning,John, He Replied.As We Drove Out Of The Parking Lot, I Jokingly Asked,"Why Do We Have To Use A Car, Gideon? I Mean, Youre Able To Traverse Space And Time. Lets Do It The Easy Way. Lets Arrive In The Big City Instantaneously And Avoid All The Traffic.Those Dark,piercing Eyes Narrowed As He Answered. Ill Tell You A Story.Once Upon A Time In The Ancient Land Of Bharat, There Lived A Guru And His Bramcharyas Or, As You Would Call Them, Disciples. Each Disciple Was Supposed To Pick As His Test A Very Difficult Task To Perform. He Was To Work Exceedingly Hard For Several Years To Perfect Himself In The Task That He, Himself, Had Set. There Was This One Disciple, Somewhat Brighter Than The Others Yet, So Very Shy And Timid.And What Task Have You Set For Yourself, My Son?asked The Kindly Guru.Master,answered The Disciple, I Want To Be Able To Walk On Water. I Will Practice Until Im Able To Do It. To Walk On Water That Is My Goal.To Read The Rest Of The Story Visit Http:www.spiritual-simplicity.com
