In addition to reciting some of his beautiful and powerful poetry, he told the following story.
A farmer had two sons. The first son chose to become a farmer while the second chose to become as ascetic and went to the forest. Having returned to his father after 14 years, the son was asked, “What have you learned?”
“I have learned many austerities and performed miracles”, the son replied. “I can bring that bucket here, that stick, without moving.”
The father replied, “I too can do these things”.
The son implored his father to bring the stick without moving.
The father called for his other son and the stick was brought.
