Once, in the Gurukula, students were sharing a clay pot to keep drinking water. Every day they were pouring fresh water for drinking. One day Devadutta complained to Guruji that the water tasted "Stale". He continued complaining for a few days. Guruji came and checked the pot, he drank the water and could not find any “Stale” taste; the water really tasted fine. In the meantime, Devadutta continued his complaining.

Finally, Guruji figured out the problem and the problem was actually in Devadutta’s cup. Devadutta simply forgot to clean his cup. Guruji cleaned Devadutta’s cup, and gave him a cup of water. Devadutta drank the water with no problem.

Later Guruji said “Devadutta, check your cup and clean it. When you clean your cup, the water will taste much better”.
