There once was a lioness who lived in a beautiful lush green forest. On one sunny morning, she delivered a baby lion to the world. It was a moment of immense joy for her. Roaring with happiness, she left to hunt, leaving the baby lion at the edge of the forest. The baby lion opened his beautiful big eyes and saw the vast landscape in front of him. Welcome to the world, Hari!

Nearby in the green pastures, a flock of sheep watched the hungry baby lion. A mother sheep took pity on Hari and adopted him. She took him home and he became a part of her family of sheep. He grew up in their amidst, and became like them.

The sheep bleated. Hari bleated too.

They ate grass. Hari ate grass too.

A few months later, there stood a handsome young lion amidst sheep, who neither roared nor ate meat. This was Hari’s life as he knew it.

It so happened that one day a wild lion came hunting to the pastures where the sheep grazed. Seeing the lion walking towards them, the scared sheep started running. Hari, equally scared, ran so fast that he was ahead of the flock!

The older lion watched in confusion. He could not understand why the young lion was so scared of him. His hunger overtook his curiosity, He charged ahead of the flock and caught up with the sheep-lion Hari. “Stop!”, he said “ Why are YOU running from me?”

Shivering, Hari replied “Please, spare me. Dont eat me or any of my siblings in the flock”

“Ah, so you are a sheep?” asked the lion with a smile, now understanding Hari’s predicament

“Yes, I am” replied Hari.

The next moment, the lion lifted Hari off the ground and began carrying him towards the lake, taking large strides. Hari kept bleating and begging to be rescued.

When they reached the lake, he held Hari above the water and asked him to look at the reflection of both of them in the water. Hari was puzzled. He looked at the lion carrying him , surprised, confused and bewildered.

“Roar now!”, said the lion

“Bleat Bleat”, was all Hari could say. Much as he tried, he could not roar.

THAAAAP! He felt a blow across his cheek from a heavily padded paw. The large lion shook the young Hari out of his state. He exhorted him with gentle blows till Hari finally roared.

And lo! He felt different. He felt natural and powerful. Both the lions bounded across the pastures to join the other lions in the forest.

The above story aptly illustrates how most of us, though made in the all-powerful image of the Divine Lion of the Universe are afraid to attain knowledge without fear. It takes a kind teacher to bring us out of our limitations and work at our best potential.
