There is a story that a preacher was once speaking in a little village in India. The peasants he was preaching to could not understand philosophy or mysticism or the great problems of life. What the preacher taught was, "Have faith in God; faith is such a great virtue", and he told them that if a person repeated the sacred word he would be able to walk on water. Everyone was delighted to hear this, saying, "What a great thing! He is always talking about this same thing." Next day an old man came and said, "Sir, I cannot understand the deep problems of life, but I was very delighted with your idea last evening." The preacher answered, "What was that?" He said, "I was very much surprised. Will you come and dine at my home? It will be such an honor." The preacher said, "Yes, with great pleasure."
