AllatRa by Anastasia Novykh
Full of pride in what he had achieved, Amrit came back to the house of Wisdom.
Mistress Vidya was in the garden. Delighted to see her, Amrit began telling her about all
his travels: “When I had left the house of Wisdom, something unexpected happened. On
that day the Emperor of the country held a great council of sages. I went there hoping to
get an answer to my question. The meaning of human life was discussed at the council. I
voiced my opinion and suddenly received the Emperor’s prise. In just one day, I became
rich and famous. In order to know the single seed of the Truth, I decided to spend all the
money on lessons from the famous guru. Now I have acquired great knowledge in many
sciences and can tell you about many seeds of the Truth in each of them…” So Amrit
began saying what he had learned. However, Mistress Vidya, having listened to Amrit’s
story about his achievements and the knowledge gained, only smiled and said:
“You have shown your learning. All that you have learned is the knowledge from the
mind. It does not mean that you have found and known the single seed of the Truth.
Multitude comes from the One. In order to penetrate the essence of the Sacred, you need
the ability to feel as well as awareness and understanding.” Mistress Vidya picked up
from the ground a fruit from the nearest tree and showed it to Amrit: “You have studied
what the material world is woven from, but you missed what it is created of and the
reason why it all exists.” Mistress Vidya divided the fruit in half. Having taken out the
seed, she also divided it in half, showing the pulp within the seed to Amrit. “With your
mind, you have known the visible core of the seed, from which a big tree grows. But
only through the ability to feel can you know the invisible, that life-giving emptiness,
from which a big tree grows. The seed is just a vessel for this creating emptiness. The
life-giving emptiness is woven from the single seed of the Truth, from which everything
was born and into which everything will dissolve again.
When you set out on the Path, you already possessed this knowledge. Thanks to it, you
gained riches and fame. But you used the riches for the mind while riches are given to
comprehend responsibility. The riches of this world belong to this world, in which
everything is transient and is subject to death. Had you used the riches for the benefit of
people, you would have found and known the single seed of the Truth, a part of which
exists in you, too.” “But what should I do now?” Amrit murmured nervously. “I don’t
have the riches anymore to amend my mistake.” To which Mistress Vidya replied:
