Why Did a King With Everything Still Feel Empty? #shortsAdded:
The most powerful king in ancient India sat on his throne surrounded by armies, wealth, glory, and wept.
Not from grief, not from loss, from a question he could not answer.
I have everything, but why do I feel nothing? His name was Janak.
And the man who walked into his court to answer that question was not a general, not a minister.
He was a boy, crippled, twisted in body, and name Ashtavakra Muni.
