MERCY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE❣️

There was a man named Ramanujadasan in a place called Maraneri. The incident tells of a conversation  he had with certain group of people and his advice to them.

One day a group of scholars was proceeding along a narrow path . Behind them came a man with a big bundle on his head.

Usually the rule was that if an old man, or a man carrying a big weight , or a pregnant woman or an ailing person happened to come along , then the other must move aside and give them first right of passage .

But the scholars were greatly honored, with kings showing them respect . The scholars on the path did not move aside for the man carrying the burden, for they felt that as learned men, they had the right to pass through first.

Maraneri Ramanujadasan  told them ~

” WHILE YOU MAY BE HONOURED PEOPLE, IS TEHRE ANY RULE THAT PROHIBITS YOU FROM BEING MERCIFUL AND KIND TO A MAN CARRYING SUCH A HEAVY WEIGHT ?”
