A king greets and bows before young children rather than the elderly. When his Prime Minister inquires why, the king explains that the potential of the elderly is already known and bounded, whereas children represent limitless future potential—any of them could become great poets, saints, leaders, or scientists. This story titled Children are God’s Reflection is translated from Sane Guruji's मुले म्हणजे देवाची ठेव in the collection सोनसाखळी.
