A Weaver’s Boast
A weaver claimed, “I have woven a thread that has no end.” The court mocked him, but Birbal invited him to demonstrate.
The Explanation
The weaver brought a spool and began unwinding the thread without stopping. Birbal smiled and said, “He is right. As long as the soul keeps desiring, the thread of karma will never end.”
Akbar’s Understanding
“The thread of action must be tied to wisdom,” he said.
Lesson to Be Learned
Karma continues endlessly unless the soul connects with bhakti. Only surrender to the Lord cuts the cycle of repeated birth and death.
