One sage, the wonder of the age, taught his disciples from a source of wisdom that seemed inexhaustible.
He attributed all his knowledge to a thick tome, which was kept in the most honorable place.
The sage did not allow anyone to open this book.
When he died, his disciples, considering themselves heirs, hastened to open the book, passionately wanting to possess what it contained.
But they were extremely disappointed when they discovered that only one page was written in the book.
It read: “When you realize the difference between the vessel and its contents, then you will have true knowledge.”
