A Parable for Meditation

Would you like to know an ancient saying that has the ability to change everything

?

This mystical phrase has been around for hundreds of years . It was first uttered in an ancient story from Persia, and has been retold throughout the centuries. Here is one version.

There was once a powerful ruler . He told his wizards that they must write a phrase that would always be true, no matter what the situation.

Eventually, the wizards had a solution. They had written a proverb that would always be true.

The king's wizards took the sentence and engraved it into a ring . They told the king to only look at the phrase in time of great need . Since the King knew how wise his sages were, he followed thier advice, and did not read the proverb in the ring.

Years passed. The kingdom had been attacked, and the king had been forced to flee on horseback. He was riding on his horse through the forest and could hear his enemies horses catching up to him. Suddenly , the road ahead ended. There was instead, a steep cliff overlooking a long and deadly fall. What to do? Face his enemies, where he was hopelessly outnumbered, or plunge to his death?

All seemed lost. After all of these years, the king finally read the saying in his ring.

It is simply:

This Too Shall Pass

The king read this , and smiled. His wise men had written something that will always be true. He noticed the sound of his enemies getting further away. They had gone past his trail. He later led his army to conquer the enemy and peace resumed in his kingdom.

There is a great truth in these four words.

When you are feeling sad, they can make you happy. When you are elated, these four words can bring you back to reality. So when you feel like the king in this story and all seems hopeless... Take time to recognize that this is just temporary: "This Too Shall Pass".
