A young man dreamt that he was the king of a big empire. His joy knew no bounds after getting such a prized position instantaneously in the dream. In the morning father told him to go to work, mother asked him to go and bring the wood after cutting. Wife asked to bring something from the market but the man didn’t do any work and told that,” I am the king, how can I do any work?”.
Everyone at home was bewildered at his behavior. Then her little sister took charge of situation. She fed everyone in the house except her brother. When he couldn’t bear the hunger, he asked his sister, “Wont she serve him the food? “, to which she replied, “O king, let the night come, angels will descend here and server you food according to your status. You won’t get satisfaction from our simple food.”
He finally accepted the truth and stopped wandering in useless thoughts and got food only after he promised that he would work towards attaining the real and eternal truth and will from now on work industriously.
