The Saints
have wonderful ways of delivering the spiritual message. At times their acts
and their talks seem unusual, but all of those are motivated by compassion and
goodwill for the benefit of the true seekers.
Once, a
prince was riding his well decorated chariot towards the outskirts of his kingdom.
Suddenly he saw a small hut, outside which a saintly looking old man was
sitting in peace. A few young men were also sitting there surrounding the old
man. As he came closer, he recognized the old man who used to be rich minister
in his father’s ministry and turned into a Saint a few years ago. Out of
respect, he stopped the chariot and stepped closer to the Saint. While touching
the holy feet of the Saint, he said, “Dear Sir, I bow to you and your great
sacrifice. You have sacrificed your worldly comforts and are living in such a
small hut in solitude.”
To the surprise
of the prince, the Saint got up and while approaching the feet of the prince,
he said, “No prince no, I bow to you as your sacrifice is higher than mine.”
