A Question of Faith
Akbar once blindfolded Birbal and said, “Walk through this room without touching anything.” It was filled with furniture and hanging ropes.

Birbal’s Peaceful Walk
To everyone’s surprise, Birbal walked calmly, untouched. When asked how, he said, “I listened carefully and moved slowly, depending on my inner senses.”

A Test Passed with Grace
Akbar smiled. “Faith and caution lead to success, even in darkness.”

Lesson to Be Learned
Even when one cannot see the full path, faith in the Lord and attentive guidance from within can protect us. The soul, when guided by devotion, walks through this world without becoming entangled.
