     It is said of the great emperor Akbar that he had
nine wise men in his court. He could afford them –
they were called the nine jewels – but I don't see
that he ever learned anything from them because
learning needs a different relationship. Learning
needs that the learner should bow down, surrender.
How can you surrender to your own servants? It is
almost impossible! You can order them, but you
cannot surrender...
