Egoism, Short Story
Egotism brings in destruction.

A person who had utmost faith in His Guru, walked over the waters of the river effortlessly just by uttering his Guru's name. The Guru, seeing his disciple's extraordinary feat, decided to try it out himself. Wondering about the power of his name which he himself was so far not aware of, he marvelled at his greatness.
