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.
This happens in the most developed places, but in truth, they are not developed, they only think they are, and they justify themselves. You have accumulated education, culture, economy and high efficiency, but you are empty.  And that which you cannot define, is something that can go as far as killing you, it can kill your families, your children, your business, it can finish with everything, even with yourselves. I know that you are capable, intelligent, prudent, adequate; you have made a society with a perfect economy but you have done it by yourselves and thinking about yourselves, I mean that you have done it in an individual way, which is good and important but it is like the light of one day, since it only shines for one day.
Now, I am going to explain the pitfall, where you have fallen down, which is the pitfall of the perfect society and ideal world, where everything is controlled and measured but which will not last. The man is a child who comes to earth, to learn to play; the play is an spiritual play, where he will learn responsibility, recognition and conscience of good and of evil; therefore, he will truly have the method to understand the difference between good and evil. But in perfect societies, the individuality is extreme, and when what is mine is mine, then ,I make of my science, of my person, a castle, where I am in charge and reign, but this castle is much, much far away from another castle.

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 found the truth of :
" Giving Love"
