Once King Akbar asked his prime minister, Birbal, “Who is greater, me or God?”
Birbal was very clever. Without hesitation, he answered, “You are, Your Majesty.”
Though the king was flattered, he asked, “How can that be?”
“Your Majesty, if you do not like someone, you can banish him from your kingdom very easily. However, how can God banish anyone from His Kingdom? Where can He send him? The whole universe is God’s Kingdom!”
Moral: This story reminds us of God’s glory and His love. There is no king as powerful and merciful as God. He has created the whole universe and accepts us as we are. He loves us, even if we forget Him. We can pay gratitude to God by remembering Him continually through chanting* His Name.
