The husband said, “I know it.” The wife said, The burglar must have gone a long distance." The husband said, "I know it.” The wife said, “What is ehis? You keep saying, “I know it; I know it.' You do not seem to care for the money. The money has been burgled under your very nose and you have done nothing."
"तोड तिजोरी धन लियो चोर गयो अतिदूर ।
TT COTTÀ ETT 11" Tod tijori dhan lio
Chor gayo atidur Janu janu kar rahyo
Jana paname dhur. “The thief has stolen the money from the safe and has gone a long distance; but you keep saying, "I know" without trying to do anything about it."
The following incident took place at Badhauda. There a conference took place, under the Presidentship of Sayaji Rao. At the conference an eminent scholar from Madras delivered a speech which was remarkable for its logical reasoning. The subject of the lecture was “Non-violence and Its Importance in Life". The style of the speech was so fascinating that the audience listened to him spell-bound. While he was lecturing, drops of perspiration appeared on his face. He took out his handkerchief to wipe off the perspiration but owing to his carelessness and forgetfulness along with the kerchief he took out tuo eggs from his pocket and they fell on the ground! The audience who noticed this, were shocked. They wondered how a man who delivered such a beautiful lecture or non-violcncc could eat eggs. The speaker who was slamed by the occurrence sat in a corner completely put out. While making the presidential remarks Sayaji Rao said, "Our country is being ruined by such people. There is .no relationship between their words and actions."
