One day the great philosopher of China, Computius, was sitting in solitude and contemplating. Then the emperor of China passed from there. In his tune, Confucius did not pay any attention to the emperor. The emperor was very upset about this. He asked Confucius – Who are you? Confucius replied – I am the emperor. On his reply the emperor got angry and said that I am the emperor, look, I have an army, servants and money, I do not think you have any of these. Then how are you an emperor?
Confucius smiled after listening to the emperor and said – Look, the army is needed by those who have enemies, but I have no enemy, so I do not need the army, the servant – who is lazy and cannot do the work himself. I am lazy, not a slacker, so I don’t need a servant. Wealth and wealth are needed by those who are poor. I am not poor, I have a wealth of contentment.
So you yourself think who really is the emperor. you or me? The emperor was left with no words.
-Er. Tarachand
