who will sit in that chair?

I have visited Japan many times on invitation. Once while giving a religious discourse there, I wanted to test the quality of the audience. I said to them, "Please consider a living room which has only one chair in it. Now let us suppose that Sri Krishna, Lord Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad have entered that living room together. Please tell me who among them will sit in that chair."

One lady stood up and said, "The chair will remain empty because, I am sure, each of those prophets will offer the chair to others."

Her answer was correct because all saints and prophets are humble.
