A wise sage lived in a hut with some of his disciples in a dense forest. The sage wanted to choose his successor. So he called his disciples and gave each of them a diamond. He said that one of the diamonds is of less value and forbade asking each other about their diamonds. The sapient sage knew to whom he had given the diamond of lesser value.
After a few days, the sage called his disciples and asked about the diamond. Everyone said that their diamonds were not precious. In the end, he called the disciple to whom he had given the diamond of lesser value.
The disciple said with poise, “Guruji, my diamond is the most precious.” Guruji hugged him and appointed him as his successor.
