Once a man got lost somewhere in the desert. The little food and drink he had soon ran out and for the last two days he was yearning for every drop of water.
He knew in his heart that if he did not get water from anywhere in the next few hours, his death was certain.

But he had faith in God that some miracle would happen and he would get water… Then he saw a hut! He could not believe his eyes…he had already been deceived by mirages and illusions…but the poor guy had no choice but to believe! After all, this was his last hope!

He started crawling towards the hut with his remaining strength… As he got closer, his hope increased… and this time luck was also with him, there was indeed a hut there!

But what is this? The hut was lying deserted! As if no one had wandered there for years. Still, the man entered the hut in the hope of water… Seeing the view inside, he could not believe his eyes…

There was a hand pump installed there, the man was filled with a new energy… yearning for every drop of water, he started running the hand pump rapidly. The leaking hand pump had dried up long ago…the man became disheartened…he felt that now no one can save him from dying…he became exhausted and fell down.

Then he saw a bottle filled with water tied to the roof of the hut. Somehow he ran towards her!

He was about to open it and drink it when he saw a paper stuck to the bottle…it was written on it –

Use this water to run the hand pump… and don't forget to refill the bottle.

It was a strange situation, the man was not able to understand whether he should drink the water or put it in the hand pump and start it.

Many questions started rising in his mind… if the pump did not run even after pouring water… if what was written here was false… and who knows, the water below the ground might have dried up… but who knows if the pump did run… who knows here. If what was written was true…he was not able to understand what to do!

Then after some thinking, he opened the bottle and started pouring water into the pump with trembling hands. After pouring water, he prayed to God and started running the pump… one-two-three… and cold water started coming out from the hand pump.

That water was no less than nectar… The man drank the water to his heart's content, his life came back to life, his brain started working. He filled the bottle again with water and tied it to the ceiling. While he was doing this, he saw another glass bottle in front of him. When opened, there was a pencil and a map lying in it which had a way out of the desert.

The man remembered the route and put the bottle with the map back there. After this, he filled water in his bottles and started going from there… After moving a little further, he looked back once… Then after thinking something, he went back to that hut and took off the paper stuck on the bottle filled with water and wrote something on it. Put wrote

Trust me…it works!

Friends, this story is about life. It teaches us that we should not lose hope even in the worst situations and this story also teaches us that before getting something big, we have to give something from our side also. Like the man poured all the water available in the tap to run it.

If seen, water in this story represents the good things present in life, some things which have value in our hearts. For some it may be knowledge, for some it may be love and for others it may be money. To get whatever it is, first we have to put it into the hand pump of karma from our side and then in return you get it back in a much greater quantity than your contribution.
