The keen observer

A human being or anything alive is completely different.

Making simplistic predictions about them is stupid because there are so many factors affecting their lives every day.

I am confident in my abilities when it comes to observing what is in the nature, but I am neither arrogant nor stupid to claim expertise in what will happen in future.

It is true that some people make a business out of it exploiting the greed and fear of others.

But as a keen observer of the glorious complexities and connectedness of life, I will never attempt to make such futile predictions.

'' “That is just as excuse to cover up your lack of knowledge and abilities, Tenali'', thundered Chatur Pandit clearly insulted, “gurus like me are learned in the science of prediction and have been blessed by such divine abilities.

'' Tenali Ram bowed to the King and said, “the only observation this humble servant of your majesty can make here is that the baby is a girl.

'' Chatur Pandit was shocked.

“I was waiting for an opportunity to mention that, “said the general smiling, “the messenger in the court this morning had made a mistake.

The King turned to look at Chatur Pandit.

But he had already fallen at the King’s feet ashamed and scared.

The next day itself Krishna Deva Raya issued a proclamation banning the business of taking money to make predictions about people’s lives.
