A disciple had complete faith in his guru. For example, his faith in the power of his guru's name was so great he could walk on water simply by reciting the guru's name.
As he watched his disciple walk on water, the guru was surprised at the power of his own name, and he decided he wanted to walk on the water too. "I! I! I!" he recited as he walked out onto the water.
But the guru did not have the power of faith, so he sank into the water and drowned. He didn't even know how to swim.
