The White is the brightest students of the Master of Wisdom. One day he challenged the most stupid pupil. "White, if you really clever, try to answer how many 8 x 3 that?". White Spontaneously directly mention the number 24. "Wrong," says the Fool, "The truth is 23!"
Soon the two students are arguing endlessly. Each maintains its own truth. Each insisted, and no one would budge. Can not stand prolonged debate, the Stupid White then challenged the bet, "White way, if 8 x 3 = 24, you're the right thing. I would slit my throat rod itself. But if that really turns 23, you must remove your hat."
Trying to prevent gambling. White said, "Brother, there is no point in betting this. I do not want you to be a victim in vain." but the fool still determined to continue gambling and even asked the Master Sage to be a referee. "What the Master said, that's the truth," continued the Fool.
So with her listless listless White was forced to comply with a request that seperguruannya brother. Both were then facing the teacher and recounted the course of the debate between them. The Teacher smiled, nodded and said that 8 x 3 = 23!
How disappointed the White. At that respeknya on the Master slumped to its lowest point. He felt cheated people who had been so respected and upheld. With the upset, angry and very disappointed, he then slammed his cap. Half a shout he said, "It's better I'll go back to live with honesty, innocence, and simplicity, rather than living in the midst of deceit, hypocrisy, and pretense."
Seeing the reaction of the white, the Guru still smiling. Then with a soft voice he said, "if you really are determined to retreat and go back, I can not prevent. But if you still want to listen, listen to this advice. Had it happened on the way home later that very heavy rain, be careful. Do not take shelter under large trees, because the tree because the tree was uprooted and will befall you. " While grumbling indistinct, White went straight out to leave without the words could say goodbye to the teacher. He was so angry and disappointed. Its character changed completely at that time.
Along the way, all of a sudden the weather changed drastically. Previously bright sky, bright, sudden change, pitch black. Darting lightning, thunder flashed. Ders rain was as if poured from the sky. White Heart choked and when his eyes saw a big tree on it, he instinctively avoided. At that time ssang large tree uprooted by the very sound of thunder. White shuddered and sighed. Almost alone his life leaving his body floating.
After the breath from the shock, White also realized that the Master is really not the man carelessly. Extraordinary human being, who is able to read what will happen. White was then turned right. It did not return home, but then returned to the house of the Master, to beg forgiveness and ask readmitted as a student of the Master of Wisdom who was very wise.
At the front door of her house, her teacher was already waiting for him with a smile and mengelur-stroked his beard long. White was impressed. Before he could say a word, the teacher said, "White, White, 8 x 3 yes 24! But if I said 8 x 3 = 24, you will regret all your life. You will feel like a murderer for his own brother. Throughout the life of regret whatever is useless. Your life will be tormented forever. 8 x 3 = 24 is only a small truth, mathematical truth. But the 8 x 3 = 23 in the context of earlier is the Great Truth, because it involves human lives. lifeblood own brother. "
"Remember my disciple, full living color. Each color has its own meaning. However, not all can be read with the naked eye. It should be read with clarity eyes of the heart, the greatness of soul, tolerance. If it was just a matter of black and white, everyone can certainly tell the difference. But if already colorful, really difficult and complicated to say which is more beautiful, which is less good. Demikia also about truth. With the easy, obvious, it will be easy to distinguish from crime. But the problem often becomes blurred when the truth version of the one dealing with the other version. This is where the clarity of the eyes of the heart that must decide. Contemplate my disciple. "
White also reflect, learn and learn. In the end he became the best student of all the disciples of the Master of Wisdom. Honey White short-lived. Her death at a young age so grieves the Master, who had planned her to be his successor.
