The story is set in ancient India, during a time when the Gurukul education system was prevalent. A student nearing the end of his education expresses his desire to pursue a career in social service, wanting to use his knowledge for the betterment of society. His Guru supports this decision and blesses him. After leaving the Gurukul, the student travels to a poor village, hoping to help improve the lives of its inhabitants. Initially, the villagers are enthusiastic and supportive, but over time, their interest dwindles, and eventually, he finds himself isolated, with no one seeking his guidance. Despite his best efforts to engage them, he faces opposition and feels defeated. In despair, he returns to his Guru to seek advice, expressing his confusion over why his efforts were met with resistance. The story emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and the idea that one must change themselves before attempting to change others.
