A Unique Gift
An artist gifted Akbar a painting of a great man—but with no face. The court laughed at it.
Birbal’s Insight
He said, “This is a picture of every virtuous soul who serves humbly, without seeking fame. The faceless ones often serve best.”
Akbar’s Reflection
He bowed to the message, saying, “The greatest names are often hidden.”
Lesson to Be Learned
In the world of bhakti, the Lord remembers every act of service, even when no one else does. Glory is not in being seen, but in being surrendered. The nameless servants are often closest to the Lord’s heart.
