There was a king. He was very fond of reading and writing. Once he arranged for a teacher by, asking the minister. The teacher started coming daily to teach the king. Many months passed, since the king was educated, but the king did not get any benefit. Guru used to make a lot of hard work every day, but the king was not getting any benefit from that education. The king became very worried about this, it was also wrong to question the talent and ability of the guru because he was a very famous and capable guru. After all, one day he told this to the queen, then the queen advised the king that my king, you should see the answer of this question by asking Guruji only. But even the king was hesitant to ask Guruji about this, one day he dared to put his curiosity in front of Guruji, "O Master, I am sorry, I am taking education from you for many months but I am not getting any benefit from it.. Why is this?" Guruji replied in a very calm voice, "My king, the reason for this is very simple..." "Please Guruvar, please answer this question soon", the king asked pleadingly. Guruji said, "My king, the matter is very small but you are not able to understand it because of your 'big' ego and are upset and sad. Suppose you are a very big king. You are higher in rank and prestige than me in every respect, but here you and I have a relationship of a guru and disciple. As a guru, my position should be higher than you, but you yourself sit on a high throne and make me sit on a lower seat than you. This is the only reason why you are neither getting any education nor getting any knowledge. Being your king, I was not able to say this to you. From tomorrow onwards, if you consider me sitting on a high seat and sit down yourself, there is no reason why you should not be able to get education. All this came to the understanding of the king and he immediately accepted his mistake and received higher education from Guruvar. Important note to talk: Friends, the essence of this short story is that no matter how big we are in relationship, position or wealth, if we do not give our guru its proper place, then it is very difficult for us to do well. And here the meaning of place is not just sitting high or low, it really means what place we are giving to the guru in our mind. Are we really giving them respect or are we living in pride of our own superiority? If we keep a contempt for our guru or teacher, then we will not get any benefit of his abilities and goodness and if we respect him, give importance to him, then his blessings will remain with us forever.
