A line, about Rishi Vashisht. Rishi Vashisht is one of the
Sapta Rishis (Seven Sages) Vasishta, Agasthya, Kaushika,
Sukara, Narada and others. Rishi Vashisht is son of Brahma,
the creator. One day, Ashtavakra decided to show the others how
Janakas devotion to learning, was far superior than theirs.
As Janaka walked in late one day, Ashtavakra started the
lecture saying that he was seeing a vision of Mithila (the
capital city where Janaka was ruling) going down in flames
that very moment, due to a random fire. After hearing this, all
the other disciples panicked and rushed back home to
protect their possessions and their families. On the other
hand, Janaka, calmly came and sat down for the lecture.When Ashtavakra questioned him as to why he did not run to
protect his belongings from his palace, he said The only
thing that is worth protecting and preserving is learning.
Everything else is just material illusion.
