Read the following parable at least twice and write down your thoughts and feelings in your notebook.
What is this parable about? What do you see in him? How does it resonate?
“This too shall pass.” 🎭
Once upon a time there was a king and he once said to the sages of his court –
“I have a ring with one of the finest diamonds in the world and I want to hide a message under the stone that can be useful in times of despair. I will give this ring to my heirs and I want it to serve them faithfully. Find a message to write under the diamond. It must be short to fit on the ring.” The sages knew how to write a treatise but could not express themselves in one short sentence. 😆 They tried but failed to come up with anything. 🤷🏻♀️
The king complained regarding this failure of his venture to a faithful old servant who raised him from infancy and was part of the family.
And the old man said to him:
“I’m not a sage, I’m not educated, but I know such a message. For many years spent in the palace, I met a lot of people. And once I served a visiting mystic whom your father invited. And he gave me this message. I ask that you don’t read it now. Save it under the stone and open it only when there’s no way out at all.”
The king listened to the old servant.
After some time, the enemies attacked the country and the king lost the war. He fled on his horse and his enemies pursued him. He was alone, his enemies were many. He rode to the end of the road. There was a huge deep cliff before him, if he fell there, it is the end. He could not go back, as the enemies were approaching. He already heard the clatter of their horses’ hooves. He had no way out. He was in complete despair. And then he remembered the ring. He opened it and found an inscription:
“This too shall pass.”
After reading the message he felt that everything went silent. Apparently, the pursuers got lost and continued in the wrong direction. Horses were no longer heard.
The king was filled with gratitude to the servant and the unknown mystic. The words were powerful. He closed the ring and set off. Again, he gathered his army and recaptured his country. On the day he returned to the palace, he was given a magnificent reception – a feast for the whole country.
People loved their king. The king was happy and proud. The old servant approached him and said quietly:
“This moment too will pass. Look at the message again.” “Now I’m the winner. People are celebrating my return, I’m not discouraged.” “Listen to the old servant,” he replied, “it works not only in bad times but also in good.” The king opened the ring and exclaimed: “This too shall pass.” Again, he felt silence fall over him. Although he was surrounded by a noisy dancing crowd. The feelings of pride and entitlement are gone. He understood the message. He was a wise man. Then the old servant said: “Do you remember everything that happened to you? Nothing is permanent. No feeling remains. As night turns to day, moments of joy and despair replace each other. Accept them as the nature of things, as part of life.”
Have a nice and good day! ☀
