Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of prioritizing spirituality and the ultimate divine power. The king's question highlights the desire for recognition and importance, but the holy man delivers a profound response. By saying that he remembers the king when he forgets about God, it implies that the king's significance diminishes in comparison to the greatness of a higher power. This reminds us to continuously remember and acknowledge the presence of something beyond ourselves, rather than getting caught up in earthly ego and self-importance.
