The Arrogance of Tapa
A local ascetic named Tapa incited villagers against the Guru during a drought, claiming the Guru’s presence stopped the rain. The Guru left Khadur to maintain peace. When the rain still didn't come, the villagers realized Tapa's ego was the only obstacle. They brought the Guru back, and his presence brought a torrential downpour to the parched lands.
