An Unexpected Guest
One day, a stray dog wandered into the royal court. Some servants rushed to chase it away, but Birbal stopped them.
A Humble Reminder
Birbal said, “Even a dog seeks shelter and kindness. Today it has chosen the emperor’s court, not the butcher’s yard.”
Akbar’s Smile
He ordered the dog to be gently taken out and given food. “Even animals feel the warmth of a good heart,” he said.
Lesson to Be Learned
Compassion must extend to all living beings. All souls, high or low, are children of the Supreme. The humble see Kṛṣṇa in every creature and offer kindness without discrimination.
