Petty temptation

Maharana of Udaipur, a devotee of swamiji offered him the priest hood of ‘Ekling Mahadeva’ with large property and very big annual income. The only condition was that swamiji may not worship idol but should stop refutation of idol worship.

In slight angry tone Maharishi replied “I can go away from the area of your state in one run but i cannot run away from God’s Empire. How can i stop preaching truth by such petty temptation.
