Add God Principle An Intelligent Quotient Story

The village elders were puzzled over how to divide 19 horses according to a will, which specified half to the son, a quarter to the temple, and a fifth to a servant. They could not solve it for over two weeks. A wise man added his horse, making 20 horses total. He then divided them as specified, giving 10 to the son, 5 to the temple, and 4 to the servant. This left the wise man's horse, and he rode off after sharing words about adding God to problems to make them disappear.

An Intelligent Quotient
story

Add God Principle


One rich man owned 19 horses when he
died.
In his last will and teastament he had
written that upon his death, half the
horses he owned should go to his only
son;
one fourth to the village temple and one
fifth to the faithful servant.The village
elders could not stop scratching their
heads.

Add God Principle


How can they give half of the 19 horses to
the son?
You cannot cut up a horse.
They puzzled over this dilemma for more
than two weeks and then decided to send
for a wise man who was living in a
neighboring village.

Add God Principle


The wise man came riding on his horse and
asked the villagers if he can be of any help
to them.
The village elders told him about the rich
man's last will and testament which stated
that half of the (19) horses must be given
to his only son, one fourth must go to the
temple and one fifth to the faithful servant.

Add God Principle


The wise man said he will immediately
solve their problem without any delay
whatsoever.
He had the 19 horses placed in a row
standing next to one another.
Then he added his own horse as the
20th horse.

Add God Principle


Now he went about giving half of
the 20 horses that is ten horses
to the son.
One fourth of 20- that is 5 horses
were given to the temple
committee.
One fifth of twenty- that is 4 horses
were given to the faithful servant.

Add God Principle


Ten plus five plus four made 19
horses. The remaining 20th
horse was his own which he
promptly mounted, spoke a
few inspiring words, and rode
back home.

Add God Principle


The villagers were simply dumfounded, full
of disbelief and filled with admiration.
And the parting words of the wise man
were inscribed in their hearts and minds
which they greatly cherished and passed
on to their succeeding generations till
today.

Add God Principle


The wise man said:
In our daily lives, in our daily affairs,
simply add God's name and then go
about facing the day's happenings.
Ever come across problems in life that
are seemingly insurmountable? (Like
the villagers, do we feel that such
problems cannot be solved?).

Add God Principle


The wise man continued:
Add the God Principle in our daily
lives and the problems will become
lighter and eventually will
disappear. In the manner of the ice
which, with the addition of the
heat principle will turn into water,
and that will eventually evaporate
as steam and disappear.

Add God Principle


And how do we add God's name in
our daily lives?
The Incarnation of KURMA tells about
this
Have Kurma as a base for drowning
Mandra (Buddhi) and Continue Churn
(the struggle between negative
tendencies and positive in ones
mind ) the Milk sea.

Add God Principle


Through prayers, filled with true
love and devotion with sincerity
of purpose and dedication that
only total faith can bring about.
Meditation is a powerful means of
directing the mind Godward.

Add God Principle


But without true love and devotion
entering into it, it remains like a
boat without water.
It is not difficult to push a boat that is
floating in water, but extremely
hard to drag the same boat on dry
land.

Add God Principle


In the same way, if our life's
boat floats on the waters of
true love and devotion, we can
sail easily in it. The principle of
love of God and devotion with
total faith, (like water) makes
easy the voyage of our lives.

Add God Principle


When the mind is pure and the
heart full of simplicity and
holiness, such a devotee
becomes an instrument in the
service of the Lord.

Add God Principle

"Love the people who treat you


right.. Pray for the ones who
don't."
