a story comes to mind..
A guru and shishya were about to cross a river in flood..
The shisya was full of reverence for the Guru..
And his faith in guru's wisdom was complete and unequivocal..
The Guru said.. "Just walk across the river, and think of your Guru's feet and you will not drown.."
The disciple obeyed.. and walked along, and crossed the river as if the surface of water had become a smooth solid road..
The Guru was surprised..
He had no idea that his own feet had so much of magical power that meditating upon it would enable a person to cross a river that way..
So he also started walking ahead
and even at the first step, he landed up in deep waters and drowned ..
