In olden days there was a center of learning in Varanasi. There were many students. Raja was the teacher. He had only one daughter. Her name was Devi. Raja planned to arrange her marriage. He preferred an intelligent student among his pupils as his son in law.
One day all the students were listening to the teacher.” I wish to arrange the marriage of my daughter. But I don’t have any capacity to get her special costumes and jewels. Can anybody do that job for me, ”the teacher asked.
Suppose any of you steal and bring them nobody should see you stealing.
The students listened what their teacher said. From then onwards each one of them started bringing articles secretly and handing over them to the teacher. They were all stolen things. The teacher decided to inspect them and return to the owners of those articles.
Ravi didn’t bring any article. He was seen depressed.
“Ravi, why did you not steal anything?” the teacher asked.
“Sir, I could have done it. But you said that nobody should see it. It was not possible. Nobody may see. But I would definitely see what I do. Is there anything more than conscience ? ” Ravi said.
“Good ! Ravi ! I was in search of students like you. You are intelligent. Stealing for a good cause is also wrong,” the teacher appreciated him.
Devi was married to Ravi.
