A rich man was pedantically showing his huge mansion and meticulously pruned garden to a Mahatma while boastfully indulging in self-display and self-acclaim. Furthering his conceited conversation, the wealthy man said, ‘This house is matchless in the Asian continent.’
Viewing the world map, the Mahatma promptly enquired, ‘What is this?’
‘The earth.’
“Can you show me Asia in it?”
The rich man pointed towards Asia in the map.
Then the Mahatma asked for the location of India and thereafter of Mumbai, which was visibly no bigger than a small dot on the map.
The Mahatma enquired, ‘Can the map exhibit your mansion also?’
The rich man replied, ‘No great sire, it can’t be seen in this map.’
The Mahatma replied, ‘Then your pride is unmistakably vain।’
