Hermit was welcomed to the palace. When hermit came, king was busy doing his prayers. Hermit sat in the prayer hall at the corner where king was doing his prayer.
Hermit heard king praying, “O Lord, give me money.. give me riches..” and so on..
After hearing hermit got up to leave but as hermit was leaving, king signed him to wait.
After prayer was over King said to hermit, “You came to see me.. yet you are leaving without saying anything? Why??”
Hermit replied, “Your majesty, Now i understand that i need not to trouble you about it.. I must leave now..”
King insisted hermit to stay and tell me reason to come. Hermit said, “Your majesty, I came here to ask you for money.. but now i must leave..”
King replied, “Then why are you going without money??”

The hermit and the king’s story is really touching. Most of the people who ask for money and riches from God are in one way still beggars. One should not ask for money, but ask for God himself.
