Emperor's Dream - A Positive Analysis

Later in the day, emperor addressed the issue to Birbal:

"I am the most unfortunate man on earth that I shall see my kith and kin pass away before my own eyes."

Birbal wished to soothe his master's dismay. He kept himself silent for a while. Soon a flash came to his mind:

"Jahapana, I would like to read your dream in a different light", said Birbal.

"Tell me what is the flash in you," enquired the emperor.

Then Birbal replied:

"Whatever, science says it says in straightforward terms. But we have to take its meaning softly. I would rather say that you would live a longer and more fulfilled life than any one of your relatives."

Thereby, Akbar was relieved of his tension.

Hats off to Birbal, and his interpretation. He was able to make his master come out from sorrow. Such a positive approach to things of life will give us the best returns.

Akbar likes this positive approach in looking at a negative issue and rewarded him profusely.
