THE ADVICE OF THE WISE MEN
SOMETHING MISSING
This story illustrates about what is further away, which means, that for which we live, we always dream, we want and suffer. This was a kingdom where every person had reached his maximum education, they all had order, control and a balanced life. There was no kingdom that could be compared to them, but there was something that was missing. Although that reign was prosperous and abundant and there was neither violence nor illness, there was an absence that is difficult to decipher, but the people was sufficiently prepared and they realized that they needed special help. And that's why emissaries were sent all over the world and they brought back wise persons and erudite who all coincide that these people had reached an exceptional development and they congratulated them. But the problem was not solved, then they decided to search for less public, less recognized wise persons. And they found one who said : "Your problem is very serious, it is necessary to assemble all your people, because your problem is worse than what you imagined; but it is possible to solve it." Then, the people met and they all were great scholars, very successful and learned. But the wise person looked at them and said: "Gentlemen, it is a pity that you
have reached such stage of ignorance, it is pitiful
that with so much study and science, your town looks
like a museum, an university. This is not a town
because each one is like a king in his castle. You
have accomplished a lot, but all your
accomplishments have no meaning now, and it is not
that they are not valuable, but that you have not
found the real meaning. Your kingdom is truly
exceptional, you have not done anything wrong.
but in the process, you have lost something more
than fortune, do not be surprised since the reason
is critical and simple, at the same time, but also
extraordinary delicate. You have accomplished
everything, there is neither disease, nor violence,
you all are eminent, but the moment has come, where
the most innocent gets intoxicated but not from
liquor, he gets intoxicated by an excess of
knowledge, then he becomes vain, the vanity of
wanting to do everything by himself, which means, by
yourselves and for yourselves. Then, you are together, but separated, you are scientifically advanced, but lonely and terribly abandoned, you have forgotten that we walk with two legs; and it is good to do the things for us, but you will remain with one leg only. It is necessary also to do things for the others and here is the big secret: I can work, fight and navigate the seven seas but if I have no love, if I do not share, if I do not surrender, I come to be like a golden mountain in the middle of the ocean, which is inaccessibly. But, look, your town is big, with beautiful streets, abundant economy, but take a look at yourselves, you are cold and too much alone. You must look at other people, at their needs and then, you will discover the real meaning of Wisdom, which, now is blind, poor one, she only looks at herself and with so much knowledge, she has become small. But if she would open her eyes, she would have the strength of divine breath who makes that the destiny is never finished because the knowledge will always serve to give more; and there will no longer be egoism nor vanity, but there will be a missionary star of knowledge, peace and love. I want you to understand that if you do not have love, how can you apply your science? And those people, listened, reflected and realized that their society had advanced but also had been harmed, because their entire generation, they were like machines of high productivity but were lacking affection, sweetness, tenderness; they were fighting for a title, for a fortune, his elders were full of modernism, progress and control but all were dying of loneliness. That townspeople listened -not all
listened the same, but they realized that there is
something more than wisdom, since beyond wisdom, is
