RAMANA MAHARISHI (BED TIME STORY 3)
Once there was a King To find out something He went to the residence Of his Minister, in silence.
He was chanting Gayatri Japa The King waited till the end And asked him what he did? He replied, that was Gayatri Japa.
The King wanted to learn it But the Minister denied it. So, the King went away And came back one day.
He told the Minister then, He learnt it from someone, And he can recite it by heart If he had to go for a test.
Minister ordered his servant To shake Kings’ hands, And told him to do thrice But he hesitated to do that.
The King told the servant To shake Minister’s hands Without any hesitation he went And shook Minister’s hands.
Then Minister told him like this, “Oh Maharaj, a competent person Only can give any such orders, He obeyed, as you’re such a person.”
“Similarly, from a Guru, You must learn, it is true, Any Mantra to get its power, Not from any commoner.”
The King realized thereafter That any Mantra he must hear From a Guru’s mouth direct, If the power inside must act.
