Time twist

Once, God Shani and Guru (Jupiter) were having an argument. Guru was very docile and righteous. He argued with Shani, saying that if he hasn't done anything bad to anyone, nothing bad can ever happen to him. Shani smirked, and say, “Let me show you”.

Shani decided that he will defy Guru's logic in two prahars (approximately 6 hours long) of the day.

One evening, Guru was walking back home with two watermelons in his bag. It so happened, that the King's two sons were not to be found since morning. The guards saw Guru carrying something like two heads in his bag. The bag was also leaking red fluid of the watermelon juice. The guards thought the King's sons were beheaded and being carried. They caught him and took him to the King. The king ordered an immediate assassination of Guru. Guru had no clue what is happening. From walking home one fine evening, to being on almost-death bed within a few hours, he was shocked. He was taken to the place where he was about to be hanged . Still shocked, Guru was about to die any instance now, when the two prahars passed and suddenly, the King's two sons came running to the palace.

Guru was released and free. Free of blame and guilt and everything else within moments.

Guru bowed down to Shani and accepted defeat.
