An Odd Farmer
A man was seen planting colored stones in his field. When questioned, he said, “They will become fruits of fortune.”
Birbal’s Lesson
He told the man, “Stones will bear no fruit. Plant real seeds—then water, wait, and work.”
Akbar’s Reflection
“Effort without sincerity is as foolish as sowing stones,” he said.
Lesson to Be Learned
We often expect results from empty actions. Bhakti is a seed that must be planted with sincerity, watered by humility, and nurtured through service. Then the fruits of divine love will surely appear.
