Consolidation and Presentation: (Write in Hints mode)

• The landlord had commissioned a poor milkmaid, Moti, to supply a tumblerful of milk to the Pundit, every day in the morning. She crossed the river by the help of ferry boat and returned home in the same way after delivering the milk.

• The Pundit was an eloquent speaker. One day, Pundit told, can you bring the milk at the least an hour before the sunrise for only a month?

• One day Moti was present on the bank of the river long before sunrise. But the boatman didn’t turn up that early even though I had informed him of the need for me to across the river while it was still dark! Pundit wonder how then the mystics say that one could cross even the ocean of life by uttering the name of Vishnu! Commented the Pundit jocularly.

• The period of the Pundits vow came to an end. How then did you cross the river? Moti replied, you, who can remember hundreds of pages of scriptures, forget the secrete you passed on to me the other day? I just utter the name of Vishnu and walk across the river! The water remains ankle-deep for me!

• Moti stepped out onto the road. It was foggy dawn. No doubt the woman was kidding him-concluded the Pundit and the followed her tiptoe. She stepped into the water. Struck dump, the Pundit saw her crossing the river walking with ease. The Pundit almost fainted.

• The story also draws a contrast between scholarship and innocence, between the knowledge which scholarship secures, but which remains a mere theory and the knowledge that works through ones complete faith and surrender to the lord.
