The blind monk

Once a king went to the forest to play hunting with his companions. There they got separated from each other in the pursuit of hunting and searching for each other, the king reached the hut of a blind monk and asked about his separated companions.

The blind monk said, Maharaj, first your soldiers went, then your ministers went, now you are your own. If you go ahead on this path, you will meet. The king ran his horse along the path indicated by the monk and soon met his companions and according to the blind monk's narration, they reached one behind the other.

It struck the king's mind that how the blind monk knew who was going to which position. While returning, the king reached the monk's hut with his followers and asked the monk that how did you know who was going and who was coming, being blind?

After listening to the king, the blind monk said, Maharaj aadmi ki status ka knowledge nahi netron se aushi chat se hoti hai hai. First of all, when your soldiers passed by me, they asked me, "Ai Andhe Idhar Se Kesi Ke Jaitehu ki Ahat Sanai Di Kya?" So I understood that this unsanctified person would be a low-ranking soldier.

When your minister came, he asked Baba ji who is going from here to someone... then I understood that this is someone of high rank, because an uncultivated person does not occupy a high position. That is why I told you that ministers have gone behind the soldiers.

When you came by yourself, you said, Surdas ji Maharaj, you did not get the support of those leaving here, so I understood that you can be the king. Because your speech included words of respect and respect of others can only be done by those who receive respect from others. Because one who never gets a thing, how can he know the qualities of that thing!

Secondly, this world is like a tree- like the branches of the tree are bent. Based on this experience, even though I was blind, I told the address of soldiers, ministers and your post.

The king was pleased with the experience of the monk and came back to the palace ordering the minister to manage the life of the monk from the treasury.

*Education:-*

Nowadays our middle class family is becoming devoid of culture. As soon as they get a little position, money and prestige, they neglect others, which is not fair. There is no financial loss in speaking sweet language. So don't skimp on speaking sweetly..!!
