Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will read about an incident teaching us the ability to judge... --------------- The philosophers, logicians and doctors of law were drawn up at Court to examine Mulla Nasrudin. This was a serious case, because he had admitted going from village to village saying: "The so-called wise men are ignorant and confused." He was charged with undermining the prestige of the State."You may speak first," said the King. "Have paper and pens brought," said the Mulla. Paper and pens were brought. "Give some to each of the first seven savants." The pens were distributed. "Have them separately write an answer to this question: 'What is bread?' " This was done. The papers were handed to the King who read them out: The first said: "Bread is a food." The second: "It is flour and water." The third: "A gift of God." The fourth: "Baked dough." The fifth: "Changeable, according to how you mean 'bread.'" The sixth: "A nutritious substance." The seventh: "Nobody really knows.""When they decide what bread is," said Nasrudin, "it will be possible for them to decide other things. For example, whether I am right or wrong. Is it not strange that they cannot agree about something which they eat each day, yet are capable of judging my actions?" The king released the Mulla with no futher discussion.. ---------------- May He give us the ability to judge properly.. Om Sai Ram! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
