There is a story of a king in ancient India. He had a palace, concubines, gold, silver, jewels, silks, and all the nice things that kings have. He also had a brahmin guru, who was extremely ascetic. All that this brahmin owned was a clay bowl, which he used as a begging bowl.
One day, the king and his guru were sitting under a tree in the garden when the servants came running up and cried, "Oh Maharaja, Your Majesty, come quickly, the whole palace is in flames! Please come quickly!"
The king replied, "Don't bother me now - I'm studying the Dharma with my guru. You go and deal with the fire."
But the guru jumped up and cried, "What do you mean? I left my bowl in the palace!"
