Once upon a time, the various discussions were presented in court of a theologian king about “the mystery” or “mystery of a scripture”.At times, the king challenged his intellectuals about those questions.

On one occasion, the king asked the assembly three question:

Where does God reside?
What does he eat
What does he do?

The Assembly got confused. Pundits had been thinking about the God for a lifetime.
The devotees praised him for the indulgence.
Ordinary humans spoke of his miracles. But no one answered it.

There was a silence and meanwhile, a very resourceful veteran emerged to answer the question.

It was to the king that the highly educated men failed to solve such deceptive questions, how this common man would be able to answer it.However, the king asked: tell us, “where does God live”

The veteran said “oh, king, I am your guest. It is our ancient tradition to honor the guest properly. First do my hospitality, then I’ll answer your question.”

When the king politely asked what he would eat for food, he said, ‘Give me milk in a bowl.’

The bowl of milk was given. The veteran stared to churn the milk with his fingers.

The king was surprised.When asked why he did this, the man said, ‘Oh majesty, I want to take out the butter from it, so I am churning.’

The king couldn’t stop laughing. He said, ‘Oh my goodness, shaking a finger in milk will not produce butter. First, it has to be heated and made into yogurt,
Then by rigorous churning yogurt, you get some butter.

Immediately the wise man said, ‘Oh king, like this butter, God is present everywhere.

Only after Tapascharya, Dhyan and Chintan , you can find the God. There is no other way.’
‘So now I humbly ask you to explain what this God eats.’asked the king.
The veteran said, ‘Sir, how much has your previous and present behavior changed? Earlier you had ego. It is now destroyed. God eats ego. ‘
‘And what does God do?
The man easily asked, ‘Sir, are you asking me this question as a Guru or as a disciple?’ asked the veteran.

The king replied “The guru is who gives knowledge. So, you are my Guru”

The veteran said, ‘But you are sitting on the throne as a disciple and I stand before you on the ground as a Guru. Not really! ‘The king immediately rose from the throne and made the veteran sit on the throne and The King stood in front of him.

The veteran said, ‘This is what God does. Can’t you see! At present I am sitting on throne and you are standing on the ground to learn something from a common man like me. So, God eats ego and open one’s mind to truthfulness thus leading to pure eternal peace.” The king was delighted with these unusual answers to the usual experience.

So, as you fully devote your thoughts in god and right doing, your ego melts and you experience his blessing.
