A Humble Song
A blind beggar sang sweetly under the palace wall. His voice drew tears.
Akbar Called Him
“Where did you learn to sing like this?” The beggar replied, “In the cave of surrender, not a school.”
Birbal’s Addition
“The heart is the true instrument.”
Lesson to Be Learned
Devotion turns poverty into wealth, blindness into vision, silence into song. Bhakti transforms the lowest into the beloved of the Lord.
