What mystery did guru create before …

The Guru’s wisdom and street-smartness saved his disciple. He created mystery before the king by whispering something into his disciple’s ear. Then the guru and disciple acted wonderfully and convinced the king that the person who would be executed first would become the king of the kingdom in the next birth and the person who would be executed the second, would be the minister of the kingdom.  

The king needed some time to think. He wanted to be the king of his kingdom in the next birth also. He wanted his foolish minister to be his minster in the next birth too. So he decided himself and his minister to be executed. He ordered the guru and the disciple to be executed. But at night he freed the guru and his disciple and put their clothes on. King’s men executed the king and the minster considering them to be the guru and the disciple. They came to know this truth when their bodies were being disposed of.
