There used to be a king who ruled his country with love and compassion. He'd a lovely and loving queen, elaborate palaces, dedicated servants, loyal friends, happy subjects, and devoted sons and daughters. Individuals were pleased with him as their king, and he was pleased along with his lifelong accomplishments. business His lifetime have been specialized in the discovery of how to get happiness and make others happy as well. Yet with every accomplishment, every building Project completed, and every new discovery he seen that there clearly was still deficiencies in complete fulfillment. So he continued pushing on with more projects, and searching for new discoveries. Yes, there clearly was peace in his kingdom. He had a loving family, and more possessions than he could ever use, and yet he felt there was something missing.
1 day as he was contemplating his feeling of emptiness inside, he called each of his advisors and consultants together and asked them because of their help. Each proposed ideas to simply help their king, yet none could identify what the king felt was lacking. Not knowing where else to turn for his answers, the king remembered he had been aware of a sage who lived in the mountains surrounding his village, and so he decided to help make the journey to get this man of mystery he'd only heard about. He traveled all day together with his companions to the remote dwelling where this wise man lived, and entered the humble hermitage of the sage and told the sage his story. He related how he'd accomplished so much in life for himself and so many others. He explained how his health was good and he was content except for just one thing. He felt a nagging pull in his heart that there is something missing, but he didn't know very well what it was. So he asked the sage if there clearly was in whatever way possible to get that which was missing and feel complete satisfaction and attain knowledge of all things.
The sage said, "You are a good man. Your compassion and dedication have brought you the rewards this life holds, but to understand of what is missing, you have to understand something of knowledge you've not even discovered. There are two types of knowledge. One may be the accumulation of several facts and details of numerous subjects. After lifetimes of study one becomes erudite and perhaps wise." The king replied, "I have discovered much from many teachers my life time, and yet Personally i think there is something missing."
The sage then said, "The information you're feeling is missing is just an outer reflection of a further sort of knowledge. I'd like to show you what I mean. Go find a seed from a banyan tree." The king went under a large sprawling tree and found the seed the sage had requested. He brought the seed to the sage and the sage told him to open the seed and tell him what was inside. The king said, "Why there is nothing inside." To that your Sage replied, "Nothing? And yet the seed of nothing produces the giant banyan tree which in turn produces more seeds of nothing which produces more trees. How is this possible? The seed inside, that you simply say you cannot see, is such as the underlying nature f all existence. It is the vitality and consciousness out that everything comes. This is actually the knowledge which by knowing you shall know everything. You will have forget about feeling of something missing.
