A royal, Maharaja
bows to a wandering mendicant, as the former knows his limitations. The novelty is
that apparently mendicant Maharaj is a naked phakir (renunciate) yet actually he
possesses all the powers and knows all the mysteries of the three worlds (heaven,
earth and underneath the earth). He knows past, present and future (a trikaladarsi).
The wandering mendicant is the greatest actor; he gives appearance of a puppet but
he is not. In reality, he is the most powerful person on earth. He travels all over the
world with his poised state of mind, rapt in meditation. Evidently, he is not a prince,
rather a pap'!- of peace and maintains his composure in poised state of peace (in
Tranquility or Sthirattva). On the contrary, the royal Maharaja wanders in his mind in
the world of confusion and fails to understand the world-show laying in front of him.
He cuts a sorry figure to a living puppet. To a mendicant Maharaj, the world-show
(existence) is nothing but the demonstration of ego like a juggler's show {a non-
existent phenomenon). On the other hand, for the king (Maharaja), a tiny portion of
the earth is what he considers his kingdom. The popular expression have and have-
not is the economic divide between rich and poor, however, in the light of Majestic
Divide, the case is reverse; it is the wandering mendicant Maharaj who is rich with
wealth [oisarya, yogic and spiritual powers] and the king is a have-not. He may be
rich in political divide between him and his subjects but not in the light of natural law
- as all unions ends in disunion and all earthly gains in loss and thus he is a have-not
in the light of Majestic Divide.
