Have some Problem?.........This one is for U

In the Thar Desert there lived a wise old man who owned nineteen camels. He had four obedient sons. When his time was near, he called all his four sons, and said to them that after his death they must divide the camels among them so that the eldest should get half the camels, the second should get half of the remaining half , and the two younger sons would divide the rest of the camels equally between them.
One day he passed away. After giving him his last rites the four sons sat joining their heads to divide the camels among them the way their father had told them to do, but it was no easy sum. Dividing nineteen camels in equal halves was impossible without killing one and that was the last thing they would do as they loved them dearly. Now .they remembered their father had a Guru who guided him in all matters. They thought there must be some mystery behind their father’s will which his guru would certainly help them solve..
They all went to the wise Master and told him about there problem. The Guru smiled and taking his own camel went to their place. Now he added his own camel to their nineteen camels to make them twenty in number. He gave the eldest son ten camels, the second son got five (half of remaining ten). Now he was left with five camels to be divided equally among two younger sons. He took away his one camel and then divided the remaining four camels between them. All the sons accepted their shares and no camel was killed, Guru also got back his camel.
Now their wise father has given them a message in this way. It is:
Always heed Guru’s advise who connects you to God & whatever you do, add God (the twentieth camel) to it then no matter how difficult the situation may be, it will be solved easily. So always keep God and Guru with you.
