Way of learning
Sometimes some stories make a large impact on you, I am going to share such a story with all of you. This layed some foundation in my earlier days.
(Psst: This is again amar chitra katha story)
“Once there was a very learned sage who use to wander off to distant villages and used to teach people . A mighty king one day came to know of this learned sage, In ambition of learning and becoming greatest learned king , he captured the sage and asked him to teach everything he knew.
Sage refused it telling the king he was not fit to be a student , which ultimately made king furious and he locked the sage in jail. After several harsh beatings to sage, the sage didn`t gave up and didn`t taught king anything.
Atlast king thought of playing a trick, he dressed like a begger and joined the sage in prison. He asked sage to teach him what he know and sage did that. After learning from sage . King smiled and told sage “Sage i tricked you, I am the king” .
Sage smiled and said “I never taught a king , I taught a begger student who wanted to learn”
