Me, My Guru - On honesty!
Everyone was aghast. How could king
choose a boy who couldn’t even grow or take good care of a simple seed? When
asked, king explained “I gave burnt seeds to all kids. No child was to come
with a plant that way but everyone did – except this boy. He didn’t cheat! He
was honest! How can a person who can’t be honest in such a simple test be
expected to be honest while running such a huge kingdom?
Only if a king is honest will he be trusted by his subjects,
Only where there is trust will people not act out of fear and hence be honest,
Where there is no fear, there people will dream,
Where there is dream, will there be hope,
Where there is hope, will there be faith,
Where there is faith there is courage,
Where there is courage there is love,
And where there is love, happiness and peace is!
And I want my kingdom with prosperous, peaceful and happy people!” so saying our Guru left us.
“Exactly! We are suffering because of our corrupt politicians” shouted few of us.
“You really think, after so many years of being her students that she would sit here to judge our politicians and waste our whole day for that. She knows our TV channels are adept at handling that job. She would be least bit interested in that” said Rahul.
Each gave one angle of perception and it sort of boiled down to this “Honesty is the best policy”. And that didn’t seem to have many takers amongst us. I mean we wanted to be honest but then people in our life didn’t deserve that! Who could survive in this word by being honest? I mean we bent rules as it was a must – not because we wanted to. We were forced by circumstances to be who we are.....
She came and joined us and someone asked her “but Guruji what has king got to do with honesty story? What does his character represent?”
Contd......
