Thank God
There was this farmer who
had worked for so many years without desiring anything for
himself. Finally one day he developed this urge to possess a
horse. He struggled with himself to suppress this desire but
did not succeed. He looked around for a horse, did not find
one satisfactory, so went to the mountains to see the
spiritual leader. To his surprise he saw a horse there. He
asked the master if he could have that horse. The master
agreed to part with his horse, but told the farmer that the
horse was a spiritual horse: To make the horse move ahead you
say -- "thank god"; to get the horse gallop away
you say -- "thank god, thank god"; to stop the
horse you say "thank god, thank god, thank god".
The farmer took the horse, climbed it and said "thank
god". After getting the hang of riding, he ordered
"thank god, thank god". The horse took off in a
pace he had never seen before. Soon to his horror he saw that
they were approaching a precipice and he had forgotten the
key words to stop the horse. He started to pray with all his
heart and then finally he remembered the key words. When he
finished uttering them they were standing only an inch away
from the precipice. He was so happy and so very grateful to
the lord that he looked up and uttered "Thank God"
