String Instrument and Life

There lived a king who had all facilities and lived a lavish life , not caring much about his family or his people. His minister was really upset and suggested him to visit a Saint. He explains about the Saint's ability to being about the value in life. As suggested by his Minister the King visits Buddha. Buddha observes the King for a while and he doesn't utter a word. However Buddha spends time with others except the King. King got offended and continuously visits Buddha, actually Buddha was testing the king's patience and was testing on his perseverance. One day Buddha asks how can he help him, King says he has seen lot of things in life and he would like to join him as his disciple.However there is a period after specific period of time he will be induced however still he needs to give up some activities. The King gave up everything and humiliated himself like walking with bear legs in hot sun, or sleeping on the floor and he had put himself to stressed activities to win the confidendence from Buddha.
Buddha noticed that and asked him if he plays any string instrument, king says yes. In the stringed instrument the if the strings are too tight the music won't be audible or won't sound sweet , similarly if the strings are loosely tied still the music won't be nice. So by being too harsh or being too flexible you won't be able to attain the Gyana stage. Everything must be at an acceptable level inorder to have a good result may that be human being or stringed instrument it must be at optimum level to have a fruitful result.
King became so happy and he had returned to his Kingdom to rule his country to lead to prosperity.
