[Visalakshi Ramani]

THE KING AND THE HERMIT.
Alexander wanted to conquer the whole world! He wanted to gift to his teacher Aristotle five of the best things found in India. He had heard about the sadhus / saints and hermits of India – spending their entire lives in penance, on the banks of the river Ganges . He wanted to meet one of them.

He ordered the chief of his army to go with a small unit and bring to him one of those holy men.
When requested to go to Alexander, the hermit retorted, “I have no business with your king! My job is to pray and do penance here. If he wishes to see me, tell him to come here”.

The chief of the army got annoyed by this haughty reply. He became extremely angry at the suggestion that king Alexander should come to meet this semi clad pauper!

He ordered his army men to bind and drag the fellow to the presence of Alexander.
The army tried their best to physically carry the lean and starving man but they could not budge him even by an inch – however hard they tried.

The hermit laughed at their futile attempt and said, “Your king has conquered only land. But I have conquered my mind. No one can make me do anything against my wishes. No one can do anything to me against my wishes.”

The army stood aghast wondering at the power of mind over matter and the greatness of a saint over a king!
