A Cold Night
Akbar asked his ministers, “Is there such a thing as fire without flame?” None could answer. Birbal simply brought a woolen blanket and placed it over the emperor.
Birbal’s Wisdom
“This warmth,” he said, “is fire without flame.”
Akbar’s Agreement
“Then love is also such fire,” he said, “felt but unseen.”
Lesson to Be Learned
True devotion is not always loud or visible. Silent service, soft remembrance, and quiet sacrifice are powerful offerings. The Lord feels the warmth of your heart even if others don’t see your flame.
