A Thoughtless Experiment
A boy dropped a stone into a well to see how deep it would go. It sank without a trace.
Birbal’s Lesson
Birbal, seeing this, said, “Thoughtless actions are like stones in a well. Easy to drop, hard to recover.”
Akbar’s Approval
“May all who act,” he said, “also consider the consequence.”
Lesson to Be Learned
Actions born of ignorance may cause deep impact. The soul must act with awareness, guided by scripture and sādhus. Before you speak or move, ask if it pleases the Lord or binds the self.
