Two saints used to live in a forest. Both the saints are righteous, grateful, truthful and endowed with their vows. They are just like a rival to each other in any kind of prospect like arts ,skills ,literature or in the Vedic knowledge.


Lord Indra is king of devas (gods) and svarga(The Heaven). One day ,He decided to scrutinize the knowledge and wisdom between them in a covertly way.


Lord Indra and Lord Agni transfigured into a hunter man and the deer.


They created a scenario that a deer is passed into the trees bushes . Then the hunter man came to near the first saint . The hunter asked "Oh!The Noble saint. Have you seen a deer?". Then the saint replied that "kid!There it is . Behind you ,Under the trees bushes".

The same scenario was created for the second saint. The same question were asked to the second saint . The second saint answered "Eyes can see ,can't speak . Tongue can speak ,can't see".

(In Telugu Translation 

 kannulo to choodavachu Kani matlalemu ,Naluka to matlavachu Kani choodalemu)

(In Hindi Translation 

Aankhen Se dekh sakte nahin baath sakte,

Jeebh se Baath Kar sakte nahin dekh sakte). The hunter man might think that this saint is mad or stupid. He went away from the second saint.


After listening answers from both the two saints.

Suddenly, Lord Indra and Lord Agni returned to their divine forms. Lord Indra said to second saint that he surpassed his test . He offered the second saint come to the heaven . A flower bloom from the sky is fallen on the second Saint . Happily the saint went to the Heaven.  


The answers both were correct. But there is a difference among them. The second saint answered in a brainy way.

In our life is filled with a rainbow colours of emotions. Problems are common in our life. The way we tackle the problem is important.  


"Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. "
