Once Emperor Akbar came know about an
astrologer who had suddenly became amongst the masses. He was much talked about
for his accurate predictions and fate telling skills. So Akbar decided to see
the astrologer and put him to a test.
The astrologer came to Akbar’s court. He
asked the astrologer, ‘I have heard that you predict future events accurately.
So tell me when will you die?’
The astrologer who had been trembling with
fear said that he can reply after consulting appropriate charts. Akbar asked
him to get seated in an inside chamber and do the chart reading. He gave him
one hour time.
The astrologer quietly went to Birbal and
narrated the entire story to him. Birbal gave him advice.
The astrologer worked on the Birbal’s advice
and told Akbar, ‘O mighty king, charts tell that I would die three days before
the king dies’.
Akbar laughed. He understood that the
astrologer was bluffing and let him go.
