All Are Equal
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once upon a time there lived a sweeper in a certain village.By nature he was a noble and God fearing and polite and respected all and sundry.He always used to carol songs in the praise of God.
He had a tantalizing wish to feed a Brahmin priest as it was a pious act.But he was a sweeper and belonged to a low caste. No priest was ready to partake of his meal at his house.
Not far from his dwelling, there lived a Brahmin saint by the name of Eknath. When he came to know about the sweeper's desire, he,tout de suite, agreed to dine at his shanty.The sweeper was overjoyed.
Eknath did not believe in the caste system. He did not believe that people should be treated high or low because of the caste in which they were born.He treated all people equal.
He jaunted to the sweeper's hogan. He readily champed at the nosh that was offered.All other sweepers flocked to Eknath to pay their respects.
This act of Eknath made the Brahmins angry and hostile to him. Even his own son,Hari Pandit,lampooned and lambasted him for lunching at the sweeper's hut. Eknath only cachinnated at their foolishness. He preached,"All of us are God's children. He made us all equal, loves us all equally.We must not treat anyone low."
Thus saying he began to carol in the praise of GOD.
