Now we come to the peculiarity of Buddha. Buddha showed the great reason, he began with reason. His parents kept him closed, secluded in the palace till he was a grown up young man, and never allowed him to see the misery of life. He was quite unacquainted with life in the world. He only knew his servants, the royal comforts that he experienced in the palace. And there comes one day when the father says, "Now you must go out; how long shall we keep him in captivity?" The first day when he goes out he looks around and says, "What is this?" They said, "He is a blind man, he cannot see." He said, "Yes, and what is this?" "It is a poverty-stricken man, he has no money." "What is this?" "It is old age, which has its trials." "What is this?" They said, "They are the heroes who fought. Now they have become wounded; now for the whole life they are in this condition."
