Saints have various ways of imparting their teachings. It is said that a certain king's son shirked all his studies and instead busied himself all day with his hobby of keeping pigeons. One day a holy man visited the king. 'O Holy Man,' the king pleaded. 'my son avoids his studies and spends all his time doting on his pigeons. Kindly advise him to study a little'.
The holy man sent for the boy and asked, 'How many pigeons do you have?'. 'Twenty', the boy replied. 'That is not good enough,' said the holy man. 'You should keep one or two hunderd-then we can really enjoy their flight'. 'All right, sir,' the boy answered, delighted.
When the pigeons arrived, the saint exclaimed, There are too many of them. We must give them names'.
He gave the names like A, B, C, and so on writing their names on their wings.
In this way, the holy man taught the boy to read and write. Instead of forcing people to do something they are reluctant to do, it is better to know their aptitude and teach them accordingly.
Man, what a amazing story... Don't we think that what we have face into this situation? We always like to force someone or discriminate someone that we are better than someone and in order to become like them, we have to be part of them.. but, we don't understand that we all are part of one source. We are all children of one father... So, what is point of discriminating or forcing someone to believe in one thing.. Let's use this example and use our mind to teach other people in different ways. A simple example would be how babaji responds to each individual questions/problem/concerns in a different way so that individual can clear its doubts case by case eventhough the meaning & truth behind it is always same.
I am speechless.. What a amazing story :)
