Got FAITH?

[Charlotte Bhakti Yoga]

Once a mountain climber, who wanted to climb the highest mountain,
begun his adventure after many years of preparation, but since he
wanted the glory just for himself, he decided to climb the mountain
alone. He started to climb but it begun to get very late, he kept
climbing until it got very dark. The night felt heavy in the heights of
the mountain, and the man could not see anything. All was black, zero
visibility, and the moon and the clouds covered the stars. As he was
climbing, only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped
and fell into the air, falling at a great speed. The climber could only
see black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being
sucked by gravity. He kept falling, and in those moments of great fear,
it came to his mind all the good and bad episodes of his life. He was
thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he
felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was
hanging in the air.. Only the rope was holding him, and in that moment
of stillness he had no other choice but to scream: HELP ME GOD!!

All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered: "What do
you want me to do?". "Save me God!!", he yelled. "Do you really think I
can save you?" asked the voice. "Of course I believe You can.", The man
replied. God replied, "THEN CUT THE ROPE TIED TO YOUR WAIST!"

There was a moment of silence; and the man decided to hold on to the
rope with all his strength, not having complete faith.

The rescue team tells, that the next day a climber was found dead and
frozen, his body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it,
ONLY 2 FEET AWAY FROM THE GROUND.
