THE TRUTH

The disciple addresses the master as follows:

D: Master, several days have passed and I have not seen it; today I find him I want to ask him to allow me a few words. A few days ago I saw an event take place that caught my attention: I saw a woman, in her arms she wore a baby boy; When I looked at him I felt a shudder, and I began to think that not too long ago I was also a child, and equally involuntarily I began to know the world, for the simple fact of having eyes, a brain, hands, a mouth and everything that makes a man a man; I looked around and said: That child grows in another world different from mine, and yet it is where it is; It will be different from me, and it is like me; will grow, study, work and die; but in the course he will live a life of events, one after the other; you will notice that there is another sex, it will be curious and it will have a sense of imitation; will stay in a circle, or maybe not; perhaps he is one of the few who know the only existing reality; but: how can he know?

EVERYTHING IS GOVERNED BY LAWS

D: Master, a thought has come to me: Why does man age?

M: Everything is governed by Laws: Take a stone, throw it up: What happens?

D: It falls again.

M: You have applied a force to raise the stone, and another to throw it up, but the stone stopped and returned to the ground, not exactly where you took it from. I am going to tell you in a simpler way: Man is all power, as you apply your potential, you will also conquer the opposite force.

THE HAPPINESS

D: Master, does this trip to the mountain mean what? What do we look for?

M: Find something that lies hidden, and that one day I will find; and I will distribute it to all corners of the Earth, so that everyone can enjoy it and enjoy it, and be forever.

D: Here, on the mountain?

M: Yes, inside this jungle mountain.

D: But, what can you find here? Only herbs, wild animals, lizards and ferocious animals.

M: Look boy, this jungle and tangled mountain it is the reflection of human life, here is the secret; If you find the meaning, you will find it to life.

CONSTRUCTORS

D: Sir, last night I dreamed that I was a builder, what is true about it?

M: Everyone in life has the ability to do many things, only that sometimes we omit our obligations and do very little.

D: But, why does that happen?

M: Many times we are not aware of our potential, and of what we can do with it; we always have to be in search of what and who we are; because there is always someone bigger inside us than we know, potentially speaking there will always be someone infinitely bigger.

ADMINISTRATORS

D: Master, am I an administrator?

M: Why do you say it?

D: Because life gives me a lot.

M: Like what? What do you mean?

D: I'm sorry to say it.

M: Why? Speak, we are in confidence.

D: I feel that I have not complied with Nature.

M: What does nature have to do with administration?

D: Master, how strange that you ask me that!

M: You are right, nothing of what is around you or mine is ours, we are only here to administer; they have said it before: Fill the Earth and subdue it.
