View page note
One morning he heard a pair of swans talking to each other.
One of them said, "I consider Saint Raikya to be even greater than King Janashruti, since the saint is always engaged in helping out others."
Hearing this, the King felt offended. The next day he called for saint Raikya, who used to drive a chariot for a living.
The King offered many gifts to the saint and said,
"I have heard great praise about you. Will you please teach me the spiritual science?"
The saint's reply was very simple, "O King, if you truly wish to learn spirituality, make yourself pious from the inside. Suppress your ego and be meek and you shall attain true wisdom."
The King realized his folly. He corrected himself and instead of boasting about his achievements he tried to develop true greatness from within.
