God Or Air

A hermit was meditating at the riverside when a young man
interrupted him. "Master, I want to become your disciple,"
said the man. "Why?" replied the hermit. The young man
thought for a while and said "Because I want to find God."
The hermit grabbed the man by the scruff of his
neck, dragged him into the river, and plunged his head
under water. After holding him there for a minute, with him
kicking and struggling to free himself, the master finally
pulled him up out of the river. The young man coughed up
water and gasped to get his breath. When he eventually
quieted down, the master spoke. "Tell me, what did you
want most of all when you were under water."
"Air!" answered the man.
"Very well," said the master. "Go home and come back to
me when you want God as much as you just wanted air."
Moral:- The will to live is sometimes stronger than wanting God in
your life. In the Bible Jesus tells people that they must give
up everything in order to follow him to God.
