A Child’s Creation
A poor boy made a palace from sand outside the real palace gates and sat with a smile. Akbar asked what he was doing.
The Child’s Innocence
He said, “I made this for God. It’s not grand, but I built it with love.” The emperor was deeply touched.
Birbal’s Response
He added, “He may have no bricks, but his heart is a temple.”
Lesson to Be Learned
Even a hut becomes a palace when offered in devotion. The Lord does not reside in grandeur but in the heart of the devotee. Love is the only true foundation.
