In ancient times a king decided to find and honor the greatest person among his
subjects. A man of wealth and property was singled out. Another was praised for
his healing powers; another for his wisdom and knowledge of the law. Still
another was lauded for his business acumen. Many other successful people were
brought back to the palace, and it became evident that the task of choosing the
greatest would be difficult.
Finally, the last candidate stood before the king. It was a woman. Her hair was
white. Her eyes shown with the light of knowledge, understanding, and love.
"Who is this?" Asked the king. "What has she done?"
"You have seen and heard all the others," said the king's aide. "This is their
teacher."
The people applauded and the king came down from his throne to honor her.
