A Strange Declaration
Akbar announced, “Today I wear an invisible garland made by the greatest devotee in the court.”
The Court Puzzled
No garland was visible. Then Birbal stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, “It is your faith that makes it visible, O King. May it protect your heart.”
Akbar’s Reflection
He said, “Love, honor, and faith—these are unseen garlands worn by the pure.”
Lesson to Be Learned
Spiritual beauty is invisible to the eyes but radiant in the heart. The Lord sees not external offerings but inner devotion. Let your heart be adorned with humility, love, and remembrance.
