A Curious Complaint
A man claimed that the river near his home changed direction overnight. He demanded Akbar investigate.
Birbal’s Calm Inquiry
Birbal visited and found the man had built a dam to divert the water to his land. “It was not the river, but your greed, that changed course,” he said.
The Truth Accepted
Ashamed, the man begged forgiveness.
Lesson to Be Learned
Nature obeys divine law. When man interferes for selfish gain, he disturbs the harmony. Similarly, when the heart is bent by material desire, it turns away from its natural flow toward the Lord. Restore that flow through service and surrender.
