Story: Buddha and the king giving him sweets!
There once was a king who wanted to gain knowledge from Buddha, but you cannot take anything without giving.
So he decided that in the morning when Buddha come for his alms, rather than giving him something simple, he should give him nice sweets then Buddha was sure to part wits his knowledge.
In the morning, the king saw Buddha coming to his door.
The king went to the kitchen and brought out some lovely sweets.
Buddha realized that the king was after something.
Buddha got some dirt and smear his bowl with it and then put his bowl out for is alms.
The king saw that the bowl was dirty and said that if he put the sweets in the dirty bowl the sweets will get ruined.
Buddha then reminded the king that before he can place any knowledge into the king, the king must cleans his mind.
Moral of the story:
To receive the knowledge of Srimad Bhagavatum one must be worthy of it.
