Humayun's Sword

Mughal Emperor Humayun, fleeing after his defeat, came to seek the Guru's blessing. Finding the Guru in deep meditation, the impatient Emperor drew his sword. The Guru calmly opened his eyes and asked, 'Where was this sword on the battlefield?' Humayun was humbled, apologized, and received the Guru's blessing.
