Agastya was renowned throughout the land for his exceptional wisdom.
His knowledge was vast, encompassing everything from the stars to the secrets of the earth.
People from far and wide sought his counsel, and his words were held in the highest regard.
One day, Agastya decided to test the limits of his wisdom. He journeyed to the peak of Mount Kailash, where it was said that an ancient oracle resided.
The oracle, a wise old hermit named Narada, was known for his cryptic and often contradictory prophecies.
Agastya approached Narada with a sense of confidence. "I have come to test my wisdom against yours," he declared. "I believe I know the answers to all questions."
Narada chuckled. "Do you truly believe that, Agastya? Even the wisest among us can err. It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom."
Agastya was taken aback. He had never doubted his abilities before. Yet, something about Narada's words resonated with him.
To prove his point, Narada presented Agastya with a riddle: "What is born but never dies, has no voice but can speak volumes, and is always present but often overlooked?"
Agastya pondered the riddle for hours. He consulted his vast knowledge, but no answer came to mind. Finally, he admitted defeat.
Narada smiled. "The answer, Agastya, is time. Time is born with the universe but will never die. It has no voice but can speak volumes through the passage of events. It is always present but often overlooked in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding."
Agastya was humbled by Narada's wisdom. He realized that even the greatest minds can be limited.
It was important to remain open-minded and humble, always willing to learn and grow.
From that day forward, Agastya approached his wisdom with a newfound humility.
He sought out the counsel of others, recognizing that different perspectives could offer valuable insights.
He learned to appreciate the limitations of his own knowledge and the infinite mysteries of the world.
