Be Inspired - Think and act
There was a king in a country. He ordered his ministers to go to the forest and spend few days there and come back and tell their experience to him. The ministers too accepted and went to the forest and came after few days. The king asked one of the ministers, “What was the most wonderful moment that you have experienced in the forest?” The minister replied, “I saw a furious lion, when it came near me, I took a stick and beat him and killed the lion”. The king appreciated him. Then he asked the next minister, what his experience was.
The second minister said, “I went to the river to drink water, a crocodile caught my leg. I just gave a punch in its head. The crocodile left me and went with fear”. The king appreciated him. Next he asked another minister about his experience. That minister said, “I was in the forest, a bear was chasing me. I climbed up a tree to escape. But the bear too climbed the tree. So I was looking for a way to escape. Suddenly I saw an eagle came by my way. So I jumped and caught the eagle's leg and I flew along with the eagle. Then the eagle came near the palace, I jumped down safe and came to you”. The king hearing this said, “Well this is unbelievable. I can't accept this must have taken place."
Now the minister said, “Oh King! If you can accept the stories of others why can’t you accept this story?” He added, “A king must listen and analyse whether it is true or false and then he must act”. Now the king understood that it was his fault and he thanked the minister for teaching him a lesson.
Whatever we hear, we must not believe them blindly. We must verify, analyse and then believe in it.
This is what you call it as true knowledge.
