The Witty Indian

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or mental discipline, or philosophy—by one, or more, or all of these—and be free.

It always pays to be patient and polite in all situations, that is the only way we can win. Please enjoy the following story
as kindly shared by a friend of a friend, Lanre Idowu.

When Swami Dharmendra was studying law at the University College, London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when Dharmendra came along with his tray and sat next to the professor.

The professor said, "Mr Dharmendra, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."

Dharmendra looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge.

The next day in Class he posed the following question: "Mr. Dharmendra, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with money, which one would you take ?"

Without hesitating, Dharmendra responded, "The one with the money, of course."

Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."

Swami Dharmendra shrugged and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."

Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Swami Dharmendra's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Swami Dhamendra.

Dhamendra took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.

A few minutes later, Swami Dhamendra got up, went to the professor and told him in a dignified polite tone, "Mr. Peters, your signature is on the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

Mr Paul

Its foolishness to allow bitterness to control one's emotion.
The Bible is so correct to say:
"Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." Proverbs 26:5.
Mr Peters thought he was wise, being a professor, but bitterness has turned him to a big fool !
