Upon
hearing that the seven year old Guru was called Sri Har Krishan, a proud Brahmin
went to visit him. He complained, "The poet in the Bhagavad Gita merely
calls God Krishan, but you call yourself Sri Har Krishan. If you are such a
great guru, come and translate the Gita with me." Guru Har Krishan said to
the Brahmin, "I have not read the Gita, and even if I had, you would say I
was just some rich man's son who had a private tutor. Bring some ignorant
peasant to discuss it with you, and when you have proved your superiority, I
will speak to you." The Brabmin went out and got Chhajju, a simple
water-carrier, from the nearest village. The Guru fixed his gaze upon him and
said, "You are now a great spiritual scholar. Discuss the meaning of the
Gita with this Brabmin." The Brahmin and the water-carrier discussed the
Gita and Chhajju gave such learned replies that the Brabanin sat in dumbfounded
silence. The Brahmin was convinced that Guru Har Krishan has infused his
supernatural power into the water-carrier. He begged the Guru's forgiveness and
asked to be his disciple. The Guru then taught him that the first value of
spiritual importance is humility. Source:
