What's the biggest thing in the world?
0:03
The faint rays from the sun were
entering the corridors of the palace.
0:07
However the courtiers had
sad expressions on their face.
0:12
The reason was the absence of the
emperor's favourite Birbal from the court.
0:18
Without whom the emperor
did not start with the proceedings.
0:23
After waiting for some more time,
0:25
the ministers started
losing their patience.
0:29
One cunning minister from there gathering
courage asked emperor the question.
0:34
He remarked, forgive me my majesty.
0:38
If you allow, can we start with
the proceedings of the court.
0:43
There is no point waiting for Birbal.
0:49
Until he comes, there is no
point beginning the proceedings.
0:54
Listening to this all the
ministers were shocked.
0:57
The cunning minister says,
1:00
Why do you always trust Birbal?
1:04
Let us also take decisions.
1:07
I bet we will prove more intelligent,
more dependent and more better.
1:14
The emperor saw through the
boiling jealousy in his ministers.
1:19
However he found their
questions reasonable.
1:22
He decided to address their question.
1:28
I will give you one opportunity,
1:30
I will ask all you ministers
present here a question.
1:35
If you are able to answer that question.
1:38
From today, I will never wait for Birbal.
1:42
And I will give your thoughts a priority.
1:46
All the ministers were now happy.
1:49
But the emperor had not finished.
1:56
If you are not able to
answer the question.
2:00
You will be suspended from the court
for three months without reimbursement.
2:08
All the ministers were shocked.
2:11
They only had this
opportunity to prove themselves.
2:18
They accepted this because
their integrity was on the line.
2:21
All the ministers nodded their head to show
acceptance to the condition of the emperor.
2:30
We accept your challenge.
2:33
Ask the question and
we will instantly answer.
2:36
After so many requests Akbar
asked all the ministers a question.
2:41
Tell me, what's the
biggest thing in this world?
2:48
You have till today evening.
2:52
Otherwise get suspended.
2:55
Saying this the emperor
started walking out of the court.
3:01
He suddenly stopped
and asked the ministers
3:06
If Birbal was here he
would not need a day's time.
3:11
This lit a fire in all
the ministers present.
3:15
The cunning minister said,
3:17
Emperor has us in a big dilemma.
3:22
Big problem in finding this big thing.
3:26
We'll have to use our big brains.
3:28
The word is so big. What's
bigger than the world?
3:33
-What I feel--
-Keep quiet.
3:36
Your big ego is the
reason we are in this mess.
3:42
They lost half the day to
their incessant arguments.
3:45
It was time for the sun to set.
3:48
One tired minister replied.
3:51
I don't think we have the
answer to this question.
3:55
If we want to save our jobs,
there is only one way.
4:03
Go to Birbal for the solution.
4:08
Now the question is not just about
the big thing but about your stomach too.
4:15
All the ministers agreed to it.
4:19
They left for Birbal's house.
4:23
As soon as they reached Birbal's
house they started talking out of turns.
4:32
Why are you talking as if
someone wants to kill you?
4:37
Tell one thing at a time.
That's when I'll understand.
4:40
That's when I'll be able
to solve the problem.
4:43
All the ministers calmed down.
4:46
One minister explained
everything to Birbal.
4:50
Birbal laughingly replied.
4:54
Where does emperor get these
interesting questions from?
4:57
Whatever this question is I
don't have an answer right now.
5:01
Give me time till tomorrow evening.
5:04
No! No! We have a
deadline until sunset today!
5:08
Otherwise, we will have
no salary for three months.
5:12
Think quickly, Birbal.
5:16
We are ready to do whatever you say.
5:22
-Yes, please help us!
-Yes, please help us!
5:26
This gave Birbal an idea.
5:29
He then told them, do as I say.
5:33
Do you see that chariot? saying
that Birbal sat on the chariot.
5:39
Told four ministers to pick it up.
5:42
Told one minister to hold his shawl.
5:45
One minister had to hold his slippers.
5:48
One minister was told to shower him with
flowers as soon as he reached the court.
5:54
All the ministers without any
hesitation agreed to what Birbal said.
5:58
They reached the court in a grand way.
6:04
What is all this Birbal?
6:06
This is the answer to
your question, emperor.
6:10
This chariot does not seem to
be the biggest thing in the world.
6:15
The biggest thing in the
world cannot be seen.
6:18
Because it is related to our character.
6:23
All the ministers were shocked.
6:27
The cunning minister angrily asked.
6:29
What joke is this? How
is need the biggest?
6:32
You cannot measure it.
6:36
That is why want is the biggest.
6:41
And it can make anyone feel small.
6:45
Look at you for example.
6:47
You hated me till yesterday.
6:49
Today because you needed me,
you picked me on your very shoulder.
6:53
That was not possible till today.
6:56
Need is the biggest thing.
6:58
What Birbal said actually
left the minster in awe.
7:03
Emperor Akbar could
not stop his laughter.
7:07
All the ministers had to
bow their heads in shame.
7:12
Birbal with his wit solved
another complicated question.
7:20
Never be jealous of anyone's capability.
7:24
We don't know, how, when,
or why we might need anyone.
