A Merchant’s Complaint
A wealthy man accused his servant of stealing gold by tampering with the weighing scale. But the servant denied it confidently.

Birbal’s Method
Birbal asked for the scale. That night, he secretly applied oil to one side. The next day, only the servant hesitated to touch it. His fear exposed his guilt.

Justice Served
The merchant’s faith was restored, and Birbal reminded all, “Truth leaves traces behind.”

Lesson to Be Learned
Even when words deny, actions reveal. The weight of guilt is visible to those who observe with calm discernment. The Lord, seated within, exposes all untruth in time. Live purely so your hands never tremble.
