The Story of the King and the Wise Counselor

You don't know how some things in your life will turn out or turn out; but in the end everything will be totally fine.

I once told the story of a king. In fact, he wasn't exactly a wise king; but he had a wonderful counselor bestowed upon him.

His advisor was really smart. Although the king wasn't that smart, he was smart enough to realize that he had an intelligent adviser. Wherever the king went, he always took his adviser with him.

The counselor had a very positive approach to things. In any case, the advisor approached the events as "not so bad, dear lord", and the king believed this.

One morning this happened. The counselor went everywhere with the king, except the bathroom or such. Then he would wait outside. Apart from that, wherever the king went, the counselor followed him.

One morning, when the king woke up and got out of bed, who was a bit chubby… While he was wearing the royal slippers on the marble floor, he slipped terribly and landed on the marble with a 'slap'. It fell right on his wrist. It hurt so much that he cried out "Ahh" in pain after a "crack" sound. The whole palace had heard this cry.

"Ahhh" she screamed, then even before the queen, 'Advisor!' yell.

“What happened, sir?” asked the counselor, who came quickly. The king is also in pain" of ahh" as he says, "Can't you see what's happened?" he replied.

"What happened?" God how did this happen? Why did this happen?”

The counselor looked at the king and said: “This is a good thing, my king.” 

The king was so angry that he said, "How can you say such a thing..."

"Can't you see how much it hurts me?"  

“How can you say that? Get out of my way,” he said, very angry.

He immediately called, “The Watchers.” The sentries have arrived.

"Get this off me". The guards also took the counselor.

Step by step, they went down the stairs, locked the counselor in the dungeon, and locked the door on him.

The poor counselor just sat there sadly. The counselor just sat there in the dungeon, there he was. The king was stuck in his bed, and for a while he couldn't move. They had completely bandaged his arm and it was hurting badly.

After a week passed, the king got very tired of just sitting there waiting for his arm to heal. He got up one morning thinking he was feeling good:

"Oh, I'm better today," he said to himself... "Let me get some fresh air now."

He wanted to ride a horse, he loved it very much. He immediately informed the royal grooms, that a horse was immediately prepared, his favorite horse, the white horse, was saddled.

The king put on his robe and jumped on the horse prepared for him. And there he was going! He was having so much fun…

“What a wonderful…”

The Counselor was still sitting in the dungeon waiting, Then the king had come a long way and rode for quite some time. For the first time in his life, this morning he couldn't help but speed up a little more… he rode like this to the limits of his kingdom.

And then… he didn't even realize it; But he was in a land very foreign to him. And he saw a white deer on his way and was very impressed and gave a deep “ahh!” pulled. He slowed his horse, immersed in watching the deer, not paying attention to a tree branch. Pat!

He suddenly found himself on the ground! And at that moment they surrounded and captured a cannibalistic tribal king.

OK? He was taken prisoner, the cannibals had taken the king captive, tied him up and set off to take him back to their tribe.

The king was horrified, he could see that they were cannibals.

The group that had captured the king had already sent the message to the tribe: "We're bringing a fat person"

That's it!

Here it comes, drums start to play: Dum-doom, dum-doom, dum-doom, dum-doom!

And they started dancing. A great fire was prepared... For the great king, a great fire...

They locked the king in a cabin for a while and started a big celebration outside.

The king was truly horrified. He could see out through a hole in the hut he was locked in and realized that they had prepared a giant skewer.

“Oh my god, no, no!”

He was so afraid. Then the time has come. They were coming, they were coming! They were coming to get him.

And they dragged; 'Ahh! No, no, don't!'

They were taking him to the fire, you understand?

Surely someone from the tribe prepared the pepper, by the way, some salt is also with it…

All the while they are pulling and dragging the king, screaming, it's the scariest situation you can imagine.

While he was being pulled towards the fire, during the scuffle, they will throw the king into the fire, the king's wound bandages were dissolved, everyone saw the bloody elbow at that moment. And all the tamtams stopped! Everyone stopped and looked.

A “Aaaahh” voice came from everyone. They were greatly disappointed; the victim was defective, it could not be sacrificed.

Even the king paused, “What are we doing?” saying. Why are they so disappointed; it is actually a very delicious sacrifice... They all grabbed the king and put him on his horse again, put him in the saddle well and sent him a smack on the ass of the horse.

He was in a completely traumatic mood because of what had happened. After a long time, he found himself in his kingdom. He was very tired. They took him off his horse.

"Sir, what happened to you?" They helped him to his room.

Under the influence of all this, the king just collapsed.

Then he suddenly realized how lucky he was. At that moment, the words of his adviser came to mind:

"That's a good thing, sire."

At that moment, his counselor came to mind. “My advisor… has been in a dungeon for a week, even though he is innocent.”

And at that moment, he got up from his place and went down to the dungeon himself.

“Take me to him, now, quickly, quickly, quickly! I need to see my advisor right away.”

They took the king to the dungeon, they opened the lock, the door opened, the counselor just sat there…

“Oh, my advisor, my advisor.”

“Oh, my king, your majesty,” said the counselor.

The king said, “Oh my God, what have I done, what have I done?”

"Sir, what's the problem?"

The king said, “Ahh ah I didn't know how good you were, you are my best adviser. Remember when I broke my arm a week ago, you told me it was a good thing, and I was very angry with you, I didn't know.”

And she told him everything that had happened to her.

“See how good the result was for me; but you, you were in the dungeon here.”

“You were locked in a dungeon. How could this be good for you?”

You said you could be good for me, and for you?"

The counselor remained silent for a while, then said, "Sir, you know, I am always with you." said.

“When you were riding the horse, I would be with you wherever you were going, and then they would have caught both of us. And when they realized they couldn't sacrifice you, then they would sacrifice me."

“So it was a good thing for me to be here in the dungeon.”

“Huh?”

And that's the message of this story, that you don't know what and how it will develop in life. Sometimes, we make premature decisions, “Oh, this is too bad,” I say, just keep quiet and don't expect, trust life and you'll see.

The quieter you are, the more clearly you will be able to see everything as it is, and when you see it as it is, your heart will be filled with gratitude and thus you will grow in wisdom.

Our minds always make early deductions, are always too quick to judge, and always misinterpret everything.

Do you see? Even though life sometimes seems like a struggle, if you stay quiet… Your mind will open up and start working in a different way and you will be able to see the beauty of the situation you are in, you will be able to appreciate how grateful you are to be in a situation that you think is good, a situation where consciousness manifests itself much more subtly. .

You cannot know how things will turn out. Don't make early decisions. The quieter you are, the more clearly you can see what everything really is. When you see things as they are, your heart will be filled with gratitude, and you will grow even more in wisdom.
