I have started doing some stories and the moral conclusion out of it. I did one with Lord Krishna . Now I will do one that I heard about and it may or may not be true. I am sure some of you might have heard of the story ,but never thought it had some educational value.
This is a story of Einstein. When he had published the theory of the relativity, he became very famous and every university and every association wanted to call him and give a lecture . He was not very happy ,but he had to go for lectures . He was getting bored . So one day he had was invited for the lecture. He was going to the place and his driver was driving. He did not need to prepare for the lecture as he had given same lecture many times and he knew the subject as he was the one that had the theory published. So he was talking to his driver. The driver had also attended the lectures in the past and he was smart . So when Einstein state that he was just tired of giving the same lecture over and again, he suggested that they can change the cloths and Einstein can become the driver and driver can give lecture. Einstein agreed . They changed the clothes and now Einstein was wearing the driver's uniform . When they reached the place , the driver went in as Einstein and gave the lecture. He had heard it many times and he could rattle out the same words again without understanding anything.
The lecture was over and the driver was trying to get off the stage as he did not not the real thing . But the moderator wanted to have some Q and A session. So he asked if anyone had questions . One from the audience stood up and asked a question . The driver had stop and stay in his chair . He had no understanding of the subject and so it was beyond his ability to answer any questions . He was in trouble , but he was smart and he stood up and said .'The question is so simple that even my driver could answerer it ' and called his driver - Einstein ,from the audience.
Let us for a second leave aside the possibility of such a thing really happening . Not very likely .But we do it all the time . We give comments based on what we have heard from experts and we have not understood much . But it sounds good and we can remember the answers. We do this all the time when we talk about the scriptures . We don't always understand nor we we follow the path. But we are ready to TEACH the others , only because we can remember and talk like parrot.
