Long ago there was a king whose kingdom was very vast.
No other king was equal to him and he was proud of that. He use to boast about among friends of his victories, deeds and heroic tasks.
The courtiers in his court use to call him supreme king. And he was very proud of that.
Once a saint came to his kingdom. The saint use to teach love, compassion and good value to the peoples. Saint use to say that one has to love all and help others who are in need. Even animal, birds and plants are equal to human.
Within a short span of time the saint become popular amongs the common people of the kingdom.
Even the king heard about the saint.
So the king asked the council of minister to invite the saint to his palace and arrange for a big feast.
Thousand of people attended the feast and praised the king for his generosity. The king was happy and gave precious gifts to everyone.
At last the king asked the saint to ask for anything from him.
The saint answered that he don't want anything. The king insisted and said that he can shower the saint with gold, land and other precious things.
The saint answered the gold or land you are talking about was of some one else earlier and would be of some one else afterward so the king don't have any thing to offer.
But then also if you want to give, give me your false pride. Which made you believe that you own all these things. In real you are just a mean of god to provide good governess to the people of your kingdom by these.
Moral:- If you have less be happy with that and if you have more then god want you to help others.
