An
ancient story tells of a man who had a sick child. He turned to all the places
of the earth to find someone who was able to provide the right medicine to cure
his beloved son.
After
wandering in vain, he found himself talking to a Buddhist sage, who said he
knew the medicine for his son, but the preparation needs a seed of any plant
grown in the garden of a family that had no mourning or sad events.
The father decided to try this
suit, so he visited many families.
He found that in every family always hid
some sadness, that none of the families he visited could hand over his suit.
He returned to the wise and
sadly told of his failure.
Then, the wise man,
understanding the pain of the father, said:
"How you could check, the
pain is part of our lives.
Learn to accept it and remember to look on the best
side of the any situation.
Pain is the manifestation of your soul that
something is not right, but admits the possibility of a solution."
The father understood the
instruction of the test, but he would not surrender.
He said: "There must be a
way to heal my son!".
He knew of a group of
"enlightened" that suggested a way to achieve miraculous results.
Speaking with one of these, he knew:
“We are part of a universe which
is in line with our desires. Whatever you want, you can get it!
The only condition, is to be
convinced to desire what you want to achieve. Only the doubt, simply,
determines the failure to achieve the goal.
The father asked: "What can
I do physically to help my son?".
He was told: "Take a
photo of your child smiling. Write on it how much you care, and be convinced for the healing".
The father did not know where
to get that conviction required by the enlightened, and because he did not want
to risk failure, continued to look for.
He found a Christian priest, who
advised him to pray.
He spoke of heaven and so many
beautiful stories, full of miracles.
He, however, although non-practicing
Christian, he could not delegate to the belief that serious task.
He tried to convince himself
that something had to be done.
He had thought to turn to
witches, magicians, fortune tellers, healers, but found that the operating
system of these characters was based on money.
Dejected because of the
inability to see the light in the tunnel ahead of his love life, he decided to
do what he wanted to do for long time but he had always postponed, to build a
more comfortable future for his children.
Addressing the sick child,
said:
"Honey, I'm going to stop
with work, I'll be at home to play with you!”.
A long embrace hid the tears,
but not his heart beating faster.
