A Mindblowing Inspirational Lesson
Clever Goldsmith
There was a king The king was very intelligent. The king asked his ministers if anyone could steal from him. All the ministers said no, the king cannot steal from you. Then a minister said, Raja ji is something of a goldsmith. Who steal gold in front of people. So the king said this is impossible, no goldsmith can steal gold in front of me. He ordered to call all the goldsmiths of the state to his court. As per the order, all the goldsmiths came to the state.
Everyone was worried among themselves as to why the king had called us together. Then the king came to the court and asked, can you steal gold even under my supervision? Some prisoners said yes, we can extract one-fourth of the gold. Some said that we could steal half the gold. Then a goldsmith named Ram said I can steal all the gold even while being in front of you. Everyone was surprised that Ram could not do this but he again said no I can do this.
The king ordered that if you can do this, I will get you married to my daughter and will give you half of my kingdom. And said that this entire work would be done under the supervision of me and the guards. Also, you will be given separate clothes which you will wear while working here and while leaving, you will wear your clothes only. Ram said, “Okay, as per your order.” Ram started his work the next day.
Under the supervision of the king, a gold idol of Lord Shiva was given to him to make. The idol continued moving slowly. He would make a gold idol of Lord Shiva at the king’s house throughout the day and one thing worth noting was that at night he would make a brass idol of Lord Shiva at his home. This sequence continued. After about a week, the idol was ready and Ram told the king that now I needed fresh curd to polish it. It was evening time and it was difficult to get fresh curd at this time.
The guards were ordered to find and bring fresh curd. The guards were very worried but they did not find fresh curd. Then suddenly a young woman was selling fresh curd in a pot. Ram put the gold idol in that pot took it out and made it shine. Then the king called his gold expert and asked him to examine the idol and asked how much gold was there in this idol. The gold experts were astonished to find that there was not even a single gold item in it. The king was also very surprised to know that the entire work was done under my supervision, yet how could this happen?
The guards brought it to the court and the king bought the entire pot and gave it to Ram and asked the girl to leave after giving him the money. The king asked Ram how he did this. He told the king that you will not punish me after knowing the truth. The king promised that this would not happen. Ram told me that it was my sister who sold curd and I took out the brass idol from her and inserted the gold idol. The king was pleased with his cleverness. As promised, he married his daughter to him and handed over half the kingdom to him.
