**Take My Hand **
One day a Spiritual Master saw a crowd gathered around a pond. A Miser of the town with a huge turban on his head had fallen in the water and was calling for help.
People were leaning over and saying, "Give me your hand ! Give me your hand!" But the miser didn't pay attention to their offer to rescue him; he kept wrestling with the water and shouting for help.
Finally the spiritual Master stepped forward: "Let me handle this." He stretched out his hand toward the miser and shouted at him, "Take my hand!"
The miser grabbed spiritual Master's hand and was hoisted out of the pond. People, very surprised, they asked spiritual Master for the secret of his strategy.
"It is very simple," he replied.
"I know this miser wouldn't give anything to anyone.
So instead of saying 'Give me your hand,' I said, 'take my hand,' and sure enough he took it."
