The Biggest Defect

A king had made a splendid and strong palace. All praised of its marvellous structure. Once, a saint also came to that palace. The King treated the holly saint well. He showed him the whole palace. But the saint did not say anything about it. The King wished to hear the praise of his palace. So he talked about it. But the saint made no remark. At last the King said, “You made no comment on the palace. Something wrong?”

The saint replied, “It is beautiful and built to last forever. It is a permanent beauty. But the people who live in it are mortals. Nothing is permanent about them. That’s why I was silent.”

The Gist

          Man is born with empty hands and so does he die. The King’s palace was no doubt splendid, but the King himself was an ordinary mortal human. Even the King’s powers could not change the fact.
