A Court Disagreement
Two ministers argued: “Is water soft or strong?” One said it flows gently; the other said it can destroy rocks.
Birbal’s Demonstration
He poured water on rock—no effect. Then he showed a canyon carved by years of flowing water. “Patience gives water its strength.”
Akbar’s Realization
“True strength is in consistency,” he said.
Lesson to Be Learned
Devotion may begin as a trickle, but through steady practice, it carves through even stone-like hearts. Perseverance in chanting and service leads to transformation.
