Once wife
of Great Poet Kalidasa told him that there was no rice or food at home...and
told him to get food materials; otherwise, she threatened that there would be
no food on that day.
Kalidasa, went to the court that day and was sitting there thinking about the incident at home. The court was in full swing, the King was not getting any input from Kalidasa that day. After a while, King said to Kalidasa," What happened, why are you not reciting/ sharing any poems today?' as every day, Kalidasa used to contribute beautiful poems in the court.
Great Poet Kalidasa recited " Annachinta Chamatkara, Katore Kavita Kuta"

[Thinking
how to earn food is intensely absorbing; it does not allow thinking of other
things or enjoy singing]
King appreciated the recitation and rewarded heavily.

ReplyDeleteIt is a good story though!
Last time the heading was in Sanskrit, which may not be easily understandable; so changed it now.:)
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. It's like Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" where he says that unless the basic biological needs of hunger and thirst are met, it is impossible to move on to the next need levels of safety, love, esteem and self-actualization!
