Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 Some time back a friend of mine told me a nice story. Once there was a king who was very good to every of his subjects. So he had a egoistic thought that he will be among the first ones to reach heaven. Once a great saint made a visit to his country and he was very famous for his prophecies. So the king sent his minister to find out from saint when he (king) would go to heaven. Saint after hearing about the king said to the minister to tell king " You go when I go " . When king heard this he became very furious and decided to meet the saint in person. On asking, the saint replied the same " You go when I go " . The King became extremely angry and demanded an explanation for the sentence. Saint then told king that You will go to heaven when the " I " in you ceases to exist. After hearing that King felt very guilty over his behaviour and thought how little he knew and how egoistic he has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
