Hello Friends,

There was this master who said and felt I know it all. At times claimed that he had no master and was the master by himself.

One day this master was passing by the market side in his village. As he was passing through he saw a young boy entering the village carrying a lit candle in his hands.

He was going to the church nearby; to offer the candle there.

The master in his sense of arrogance, sarcastically asked the young boy, 'Have you lit the candle yourself?'

The young boy to his surprise by such a question, said 'Yes sir.'

The master asked, 'There was a moment then the candle was unlit,
then there was a moment when the candle was lit. Can you show me the source from which the light came?'

And the young boy thought for a moment; laughed and blew out the candle and said, "Now Sir, did you see where the light has gone. This is the source where it came from."

And the master put his head low in shame. His ego and pride shattered by a young boy. That moment the master felt his own stupidity.

When you are a master that does not mean to have to stop learning. Infact, when you are a master it is much more important to learn more because then people have high expectations from a master. They look up to you as an example.

It is rightly said "Learning is Continous" and more so if you are a master.....!

Trust you enjoyed reading this small story and have learnt from it..
