69. The King
and God
There was a kind-hearted
and generous king. Once there spread famine in his kingdom. There remained
nothing to eat, so the king ordered to open the godown of the grains of his
kingdom so that poor people might also get benefited and eat the food of the
kitchen of his palace. Finally, that time when nothing remained to eat for the
king's family even, a stranger appeared with a big bowl filled with kheer made
of milk, sugar and rice, in front of the king. The king first of all made his
servants to eat. His all servants and family member ate the kheer. Nothing
remained for the king. Then God appeared and said, “I am impressed with your
benevolence; ask for something you need.” Then the king fell at God's feet and
said, “I don't want anything but a heart filled with kindness which can feel
the pain of others.”
Moral: Kindness can let you
meet God.
