Indirect Knowledge through Contemplation In the bustling court of King Bhojaraja, a talented sculptor presented three seemingly identical dolls. As the king gazed upon them, he could discern no differences—they were of the same height, weight, and color. Yet, the sculptor had placed price tags that varied wildly: 1 rupee for the first, 100 for the second, and an astonishing 1,000 rupees for the third. The court buzzed with confusion and curiosity; what could justify such a disparity in value? Stepping forward with an air of quiet confidence, the wise minister took a stick and approached the mystery with his sharp intellect. He inserted the stick into the ear of the first doll, and it emerged from the other ear. The court murmured in realization, "1 rupee indeed—how common!" When he inserted the stick into the ear of the second doll, it slipped smoothly out of its mouth. The crowd nodded, understanding its worth: 100 rupees for those who hear and speak. But it was the third doll that held everyone's breath. As the minister placed the stick in its ear, it disappeared into the heart of the doll, lost within depths unseen. Silence fell upon the court, reverence born of understanding: 1,000 rupees, a treasure beyond price. The minister's voice rang out, echoing wisdom, "Listen well! To hear sacred knowledge from the Guru and let it pass through in distraction is valued at a mere 1 rupee. But to hear and spread these words is worth 100. Yet, the greatest worth belongs to those who hear, absorb, and transform—becoming enlightened with the essence of Brahman. The heart alone, wise and full, understands true value." And thus the lesson was learned: greatness lies in those who, upon hearing the profound teachings, send them to their heart, becoming true seekers of wisdom.
