Brother Banerjee Runja brought a very interesting metaphor yesterday as part of the Easter service (2018) at the new Moriah Prayer House at Payakapuram, Vijayawada.
A professor brought three skulls and placed them on his desk. And he asked the pupils which of these three was the most intelligent?
Most of the students examined the size of the three skulls and said the largest one is of the one who is most intelligent.
The professor said they are wrong. As that was not true in real life when they lived.
One pupil came and took a flexible stick and inserted it into the ear of one skull and it came out of the other ear. He said this one is the most dumbest as you can see. And then he did the same experiment with another and the stick came out from the mouth. Then everyone said this is the intelligent one. He then did the same experiment with the third skull. The stick came out from out of the bottom of the skull. Then he declared this is the one who is the most intelligent and wise because he took what he heard to heart and applied it in real life, walking the talk!
The professor was pleased by the student and gave him full marks. ?
