The King Who Became a Beggar

Lesson: Power is an illusion

A mighty king once asked a yogi:
"What is the most powerful force in the universe?"

The yogi replied,
"The realization that nothing belongs to you."

The king laughed and said,
"Everything in this kingdom belongs to me!"

The yogi asked:
"Then will you take your throne and palace with you after death?"

The king was silent, realizing he was only a temporary ruler of illusions.

Moral: Material power fades, but spiritual wisdom remains eternal.
