Alexander the great whose dream was to conquer the whole world, as seen it's just a history but if we ponder everything then, it turns out to be the story of everyone. This is how we live, as Alexander to be called as Great. We too don't want to hear the worn ,"I failed".

Everybody known Alexander , no need to go further in details who was he ? Today, I will tell an story, where he have to return back bare hand. With a disappointment.

Alexander and the small tribe

When Alexander was on his journey to conquer all over the world, was marching to East . On his way, there was small tribe living on the foot of Hill. Alexander want to loot something from them. So, he planned to attacked them.

To his surprise ,when he reached village, the people welcomed him with musical instruments. They were playing different tunes. And they were without weapons, and without clothes living in a small huts without any accumulation (foods , jewelry, ). They took Alexander to their Chief's hut.

After reaching there, from inside there came a old man. And the old man offered Alexander to eat .There were golden Roti on golden plates, different kinds of precious stones on the plate. Everything was made from gold, silvers and diamonds.

And the old man asked Alexander to have it.

Alexander to his surprise, replied,

" ARE YOU INSANE? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME? Can I eat this gold's, this diamonds"

And the old man said,"

we thought for a long time when we heard about your news that you are coming to attack us. We don't have any weapons and till date we haven't saw any war. We thought everyone in this world are as we are. But when we came to know about you, your desire to win all over. We thought that you are different than us. You won't eat what we eat? You are not as we are.

So, we went many places to ask what can be precious that we can offer you. Every body showed as good, silver, diamonds. So we made everything of that.

Now, when we have met face to face,

If you won't eat such things. If you eat as we eat. If you also feel as we feel. You can also feel the taste of fruits as we do, that sweet fruits. Then, what is the point of conquering this all world. At the end of day you have to eat as we do. You have to see as we do. You have to taste as we do. You have to feel as we feel.

See us, we don't have clothes, we don't have to travel a long distance killing people's, looting them just to eat that Roti, we can do without doing that.

This is why we have prepared with gold , silvers , and diamonds"

Alexander stood their without words. He was there disappointed because the words were full of reality. He felt a jolt in his heart, " Yeah! This man words are hurting my heart."

The old man didn't stopped to that , he again asked,"

In your kingdom, do sun rises? Does moon comes at night? Do air blows? Do birds sings? Do the water drops on a grass at the morning sparks as diamonds?

Alexander replied," Of course they do"

The chief turned around facing to his people he spoked

I am amazed , that how can Sun there which gives hopes? Which gives life to everything can prepares a person like him. The winds that spreads the message of this nature how can that winds flows to help such a person to be raised. I am really amazed that the moon too help him to grow.

I thought that everything in his place has stopped to function. If they were then how would he be like this.

The Great Alexander stood their without a word. He was moved by this incident. This was his first taste of loosing without being attacking.

Alexander the Great, his journey was to conquer the physical world. But while entering to east there he tasted the presence of philosophical world. In east he only fought one war i.e with King Porus. Besides that there are no other wars in east but there are many tales, which carry a philosophical importance.

He came to win over all but he knew that wining over oneself is the actual battle that one have to fight. He started his journey with violence but within violence he at the end met the silence.

He couldn't win over east but we believe that he knew the way to be emperor of this world without any violence.

Thank you.....for your time.
