Articles: Moral Stories | Be Humble
- Ms. Nayana D

Three holy men decided to practice meditation together. They sat by the side of a lake and closed their eyes in concentration.
Then suddenly, one of them stood up and said, 'I forgot my mat'. He stepped miraculously onto the water in front of him and walked across the lake to their hut on the other side.
When he returned, the second holy man stood up and said, 'Oh! I forgot to put my clothes to dry'. He too walked calmly across the water and returned the same way.
The third holy man watched the first two carefully and decided to test his own abilities.
'Is your learning superior to mine?' I too can match any feat both of you can perform!' he declared loudly and rushed to the water's edge to walk across it.
He promptly fell into the deep water. Undeterred, he climbed out of the water and tried again, only to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet again he tried, each time sinking into the water.
This went for sometime as the other two are watching.
After a while, the second holy man turned to the first holy man and said, 'Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?'
So,don't be afraid to admit when you know you are wrong. Be humble and always ask for help when in doubt. Or get really wet!
Which is better???
