What
did the learned men answered to the first question?

    “Three
questions” is about a story of a Tsar who had three questions in his mind
and he wanted to know perfect answers to be successful in every attempt he
would try. Among those question his first question was “What is the right
time to start any action”. Learned men came to answer. Some suggested Tsar
to follow a perfect time table strictly. 
Some said that it would be an ideal past time to decide before hand the
right time to start an action, following a fixed time table. So, the Tsar
should attend to what was going on and then do the most needful. Other advised
the Tsar to keep a council of wise men as only they  are able to know before hand what is going to
happen. But all the answers were different no one was able to satisfy the Tsar.

What moral lessons do we find from “Three questions”?

    “Three
questions” is a Tsar’s story- The Tsar who had three questions in his
mind. “What is the right time of every action”?  “Who are the right person”?  and  “What
is the most important business of a man”?- These were three questions of
the Tsar. But he did not get right answers from his learned men. He visited a
hermit, well known for his wisdom. There he got the right answers of his every
questions. The hermit answered that present is the most important time. The
person whom we deal with is the most important and to do well to others is the
most important work.

    This story is full of moral lessons. Each and
everything that the hermit explained to the Tsar, contained moral teachings. We
come to know that present is the most important time as at present we had any
power to do anything. One’s own judgment can only help to choose who is the
right person for him and who is not. We also come to not serving others

    should
be the only motive of us as for this purpose we are sent on this earth. Above
all we learn that experience is the best teacher and we can learn the best if
we learn from our own realization.
