In a peaceful village lived a bright boy named Kannan. He was very clever, but he had one flaw: he believed he was the master of everything he did. One afternoon, while playing near the forest, he met an old wise man holding a peculiar mirror. 'Kannan, this mirror shows the truth of the soul,' the old man said.
Curious, Kannan looked into it. But instead of his reflection, he saw images of his own pride and the moments he had ignored the greatness of the world around him. He felt a sudden emptiness. The old man gently explained, 'A mind that does not bow to the supreme power that governs the universe is like a hand that cannot feel or an eye that cannot see. It exists, but it serves no purpose.'
Kannan realized that his intelligence was meaningless if it didn't lead him to humility and gratitude. He understood that he was part of something much larger than himself. From that day on, his arrogance faded, replaced by a heart full of respect and wonder.
