59. Miracle of
Meditation
Once a man killed a
person. So the soldiers of that kingdom were told to catch him by the king. He
kept running in order to save his life from the soldiers. Then he reached near
a river, but he found difficult to cross the river, and he didn't want to be
caught as well. Then he saw a saint applying ash on his body, sitting
riverside. He was busy in meditation. The culprit also decided to sit, applying
ash on his body. He was enjoying that moment. The soldiers of the king reached
there, chasing him. When they saw saints sitting there, they touched their
feet. Seeing this, the culprit was astonished, “I am only a fake saint but what
they felt, they touched my feet.” Then he thought if untruth was such powerful,
then truth must be super powerful. Touching their feet the soldiers went from
there, but from that day on the killer totally changed himself and gave up bad
deeds.
Moral: Truth is more powerful
than untruth.
