The king must
have everything he needs, but he may no heap up treasures. When he needs he must go to the real
source. If not for that he would become
haughty and forget the real resource.
The rich man has large resources, the king has infinite resources – and
it is always part of the infinity and not his, and he gets it from there…
And if the king
goes to war and he uses funds, these are only a reflection of the full
resource.
The soul is
also like this. It is essential
life. But not definable by what it
gives, just like the king is not defined by what is amassed in the treasure
house.
The greatest
distance is between, nothing and something.
To make gold from wood is not as farfetched as making something from
nothing. Both wood and gold already
exist. Something from nothing is
mentioning two incomparable levels. The
soul is life itself, and you can talk about drawing life from it… but the
essence is different – it is like the ‘nothing’ and the question remains of how
‘something’ like light or life would come from it…
