Conveying a message through satire

Guru Nanak Dev ji used satire to reform the people watering the sun.He made them think reason when he started pouring water in the west and on being asked, replied that he wants to water his fields in the west that are much nearer than the sun.
There is a story where a person was sitting with closed eyes and claiming that he could see the country of Gods.Guruji asked one of his disciples to place his donation box behind his back.When he opened his eyes he asked anxiously,''Where is my box.?''Guruji asked him to see it through his divine vision.In this harmless way the message was sent accross.
Satire is quite a humorous method of conveying ideas though it may not be the best tool of reform in the present times .About 23 years ago Jaspal Bhatti, the famous sikh comedian used satire very nicely.Enjoy the following if you can uderstand Hindi--
