  There clearly was a fantastic sage in India called Vyasa. That Vyasa is called the writer of the Vedanta aphorisms,and was a holy man. His father had tried to become a very excellent man and had failed. His grandfather had also tried and failed. His great - grandfather had likewise tried and failed. H-e himself did not succeed completely, but his daughter, Shuka, was created perfect. Vyasa taught his daughter wisdom; and after teaching him the information of truth himself, he sent him to the court of King Janaka. H-e was a great king and was named Janaka Videha.Videha means 'without a body.' He had completely forgotten that he was a body; he felt that he was a nature constantly, even though a king. That boy Shuka was sent to be taught by him. The king knew that Vyasa's child was coming to him to master wisdom: so h-e made sure arrangements before-hand. And if the boy presented himself at the gates of the palace, the guards took no notice of him whatsoever. They only gave a seat,and to him he sat there for three days and nights, no one speaking to him,nobody asking him who he was or whence he was. He was the daughter of a very great sage, his father was respected by the whole nation, and he himself was a most respectable person; yet the low, vulgar pads of the structure would take no notice of him.
  
  After that, instantly, the ministers of the king and most of the big officers arrived there and received him with the best honours. They showed him in to striking rooms and executed him in, gave him one of the most fragrant baths and wonderful dresses, and for eight days he was kept by them there in every kinds of luxury. That solemnly serene face of Shuka didn't change even to the smallest extent by the change in the treatment accorded to him; he was the same in the midst of this luxury as when waiting in the door. Then he was brought before the king. The king was on his throne, music was playing, and dancing and other amusements were going on. The king then gave a cup to him of milk, full to the brim,and asked him to go seven times across the area without spilling even a drop. The child took the cup and proceeded in the process of the music and the appeal of the beautiful people. For alternative ways to look at this, please consider taking a gander at: this month. As desired by-the king,seven times did h-e go round, and perhaps not a drop of the milk was spilt. The boy's mind could not be attracted by something on earth, until h-e allowed it to affect him. And when h-e brought the glass to the king, the king explained to him, 'What your father has shown you, and what you have learned yourself, I can only repeat. You have known the Truth; go home.'
