⚜️Alms Bowl⚜️
"There was a great uproar at the gates of the palace. Almost the entire city was there. The situation was like that.
That day, early in the morning, a monk came to the king's palace to beg for alms. The king said, You are the first beggar of today. Ask for what you want. The beggar said, My alms bowl is very small. The amount of alms that will fit in it is enough for me. But, think before you promise. Can you do it?
Seeing the very small alms bowl in the monk's hand, the king smiled and said, O beggar, I have no wealth, no limit to my kingdom. What is the problem in filling this small alms bowl. The king asked the servants for the best jewels in his treasury and asked them to fill the alms bowl...
Even as the evening dawned, it continued to be filled... The king's treasury was empty, not to be ashamed of his beloved king, so the wealth of his house brought by the subjects had also disappeared. As night fell, the king fell at the feet of the monk and said, "Sire, to me." It is not enough wealth to fill this character. Alas, my day has been wasted, said the monk. If I had told you in the morning, I would have gone ahead. After turning the vessel upside down, he poured out all the wealth and went ahead. The king ran after him and folded his hands and asked, Lord, tell me just one thing. All my treasure was emptied in this alms-bowl, but it was not filled. What is the characteristic of this alms bowl?
The beggar said, I don't know that either. I have made this alms bowl out of a human skull. It is said that man's mind is in it. And it fills with nothing.!!”
Moral :- Human mind is like that, it is not satisfied with anything.
