Passage 26

In English

Experience by contemplating on God

Once, while conversing with his ministers and courtiers after his supper one night, King felt a little tired and retired to his bedroom. The queen and royal servants served the king in many ways, and he fell asleep. Seeing this, the queen gestured to the servants to go out while she herself sat near the king. After some time, the king suddenly got up and started repeating loudly, “Is this true or that?” The queen was put to great anxiety and asked the king many questions. But without answering her, he kept asking, “Is this true or that?” The queen sent out servants to call the ministers. The ministers came and asked the king what his doubt was. But the king kept on giving only one reply, “Is this true or that?” The ministers then called Sage . The sage asked the king, “Oh king! What has happened?” Even to the question of Sage , the king gave the same reply. Sage closed his eyes and meditated. Since he was endowed with the knowledge of all the three periods of time, past, present, and future, he came to know the reality.
