When King Vishwamitra, longing for a greater self esteem practised austerity, to become a Bramhan, everyone, except for Bramhan Vashistha agreed that he deserves to be a Bramhin. Vashisth had his reasons for saying so and did not change his stance out of fear of the King and said what was the truth without rancour.
There is no greater courage than to be always truthful.
