Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Om Sri Sathya Sai Ganeshaaya Namaha! Sairam to Sai Family ! Embodiments of Love ! 1) I have told you several times about the story of Alexander the Great. Though he conquered large parts of the world, he could not take with him even an iota of property that he accumulated. He had to leave this world with empty hands. In order to demonstrate this truth to the world, he instructed his ministers to take his dead body in a procession through the streets of his capital keeping both his hands in a raised position pointing the sky. 2) When the ministers were curious to know the reason for this strange request from the Emperor, Alexander replied, " I have conquered several countries and accumulated great wealth. There is a vast army under my control. Yet, none is accompanying me at the time of my leaving this mortal body. I am going with empty hands. This truth has to be demonstrated to all people.
