Everything Belongs To Existence

By Staff

A small story.

A king used to go on rounds at night in disguise in his own kingdom.

Every night, he would see a Master sitting under a tree in a blissful state when the rest of the city was asleep. He felt deep respect for the Master and requested him one night to stay with him in the palace.

The Master said, “Alright, I will come today itself. Tomorrow is never sure." The king was taken aback at this rather abrupt acceptance of the invitation, but took him to the palace.

In the palace, he gave the Master, the best of rooms and the best of food. The Master enjoyed everything to the utmost. The king was observing him as he enjoyed all the material comforts. He did not believe that a real Master would enjoy like this. His respect for the Master was reducing day by day. He felt cheated.

Finally one day, the Master told him, “Something seems to be troubling you, why don"t you come out with it?"

The king said, “Yes, I can"t understand the difference between you and me when I see you enjoying all these things like I do."The Master smiled and said, “Alright, let us go for a walk."
