Passage 18

In English

Once upon a time a king had a servant. Once the king became seriously ill and the servant, whom the king considered a fool, approached him and asked if he could do any service to him. The king replied, “The valuable lifespan given by God has come to an end. I am ready to obey His command and leave this world.” Then the servant requested the king to wait and got a horse for the king’s journey! The king remarked, “Foolish fellow! Neither a horse, nor a chariot nor any other vehicle can take me there.” In return to the king’s remarks, the servant asked the king, “You say that you are going but you are not telling me where you are going and how you are going there? So I am not a fool, you are the fool!” This kind of argumentation has become common these days and is leading to perversion of intelligence. In this people are losing their knowledge and intelligence by indulging in such useless argumentation.
