Story and wisdom

Young and wise
The boy walked for dozens of days before reaching the palace built on top of the mountain where the sage dwells he is going to live .. When he arrived he found crowds of people in the palace, the young man waited until he reached his turn to speak to the sage about what came for him .. The sage listened to the young man with all the attention After listening to the young man, he said to him: It is not time now. I will ask you to implement it and return to me after two hours. The wise man gave the young man a spoon with a few drops of oil. He asked him to carry it throughout his tour of the palace. The young man grabbed the spoon, so the sage added, you Expect the oil from it. I want you to come back with the spoon as you gave it.


The young man set out carrying the cobwebed, postponing the palace, until the two hours had passed and he returned to the sage again. Did you like its motifs and golden candlesticks? Have you seen Persian carpets in the corridors? Have you seen suspended chandeliers in the bishop? The young man was confused, ashamed, and believed that he insulted the wise, as he had not seen anything of what he asked about him. He confessed this to the wise man, and he said to him:

I did not see anything, it was all my concern that I did not let you down and drop the oil points from the spoon, all my focus was on the oil points and back before the time was up !! Hakim said: Go back to another tour and get to know the features of the palace and what is in it. The boy went on another tour while still carrying a spoonful of oil, and he looked around the palace and what was in it, and was stunned by its beauty and the splendor of its design.

When he returned to the sage, he went on to tell him what he had seen.

Al-Hakim asked him: Where are the oil drops that were in the spoon? !! The boy looked at the spoon and found that it had spilled, so the sage said: This is what I can give you. Life, my son, has many events and many responsibilities. You have to keep pace with its events and live without forgetting yourself and losing your focus. My son, you have to be fully aware of the full awareness and vision and enjoy your life in every moment.
