A deeply inspirational story! Once, a very
bright and keen-to-study boy went to a brilliant astrologer who had never been
wrong in his predictions and asked him, "Sir! Will you please look at my
palm and tell me how much I will
study!
The astrologer, after examining the lines on his palm said, “I am sorry but there is no line of knowledge in your palm". The boy asked him to point out the place of the line. Once he knew where the line should be, he went home, took a knife and cut a line exactly where the line of knowledge should have been.
Then, with a
bleeding palm, he went back to the astrologer and said, “Sir! See! Now I have
the line of knowledge in my palm." This boy grew up to be a famous Sanskrit scholar. His name was
Acharya Panini.
If all mankind had that kind of spirit, this world would be a haven. Our destinies can be molded by us. We are not limited by astrological predictions.
