<< 19 Hunter chasing a fox >>
 | |
| And the next story is also very, very important. Once there was a hunter chasing a fox and he caught it and was just about to kill it when he saw the king approaching. This took place in the kings own forest preserve. The hunter could hunt other animals, but foxes were reserves for the king only. So the king was riding up with a party of soldiers and the hunter just had the fox in his hand, so when he saw the king, he put the fox under his coat. And then the king rode up and greeted him and said: “How are you today?” “Oh, I am very good, your majesty.” Then the king discussed the weather and other different topics and hunter was just standing there, he had a fox underneath his coat and he was saying: “Yes, your majesty, yes, oh yes, all right, yes,” and he never even slightly acted like anything was wrong. Finally the king left. And as soon as the king was out of sight the hunter fell into two peaces on the ground because the fox had eaten right to the middle of his body.
| | The moral is that we should always reveal our minds and never keep problems to ourselves, masking them over, otherwise we will have severe difficulty in Krishna consciousness. It’s a very nice story.
