Before getting married the grooms father told his son to learn the secret of happy marriage from the master guru sage saint.
The student went to meet master living in the beautiful castle on the mountain.
The wise master was busy talking to large number of people, so the student had to wait in queue for few hours until it was time for his meeting.
The sage master listened attentively to the reason for the man’s visit.
When the Student asked the secret to happiness. The master told him that at that moment he did not have the time to explain.
He suggested that the young man take a stroll around his beautiful palace and come back after two hours.
Master said, as he gave a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil.
“However, I want to ask you a favor,”
“While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”
The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. Attentive, alert and concious.
After two hours he returned to the presence of the wise master.
The sage master asked.
“So,”
“did you see the Persian tapestries hanging in my dining room?
Did you see the garden that the master of gardeners took ten years to create?
Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?”
Embarrassed, the young man confessed that he had seen nothing.
His only concern was not to spill the drops of oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.
Then wise master said.
“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,”
“You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”
Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and strolled again through the palace.
This time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceiling and walls.
He saw the gardens.
The mountains all around the palace.
The delicacy of the flowers.
The taste with which each work of art was placed in its niche.
Returning to the sage master, he reported in detail all that he had seen.
“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?”
asked the sage master.
Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.
“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,”
said the master, sage of sages.
“The Secret of Happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”
