This is a beautiful parable which I didn't do justice to in writing it up, for the time being here it is in a skeleton form, maybe one day I or someone else will merit to develop it and write it up properly:
What is involved
A king sent a
message to one of His subjects commanding him to come to the palace.
The message explained that the palace was under siege and was only
accessible by a certain route, which the message described partially
and vaguely. Upon receiving the message, the subject embarked to find
the route and get to the palace. He had to wander about a great deal
until he finally found the correct way. Along the way he was attacked
by a swarm of bees and wild animals. Once while scaling a cliff he
fell and nearly killed himself.
When he finally made
it to the king, the king received him with love and affection. The
king explained to him how his adventurous expedition had in reality
saved the kingdom. At first, when he was blundering about the enemy
feared that he had mapped out all their positions, and retreated from
their attacking positions. The swarm of bees that he had instigated,
proceeded to attack the enemy, and when he fell from the cliff he
caused an avalanche which caused great destruction to the enemy army.
The upshot is that
by making his way to the king as he was commanded, this person
brought down the entire army that was attacking the king. And so it
is with our devotions and seeking out HY, everything we undergo has
enormous ramifications that we may know nothing of, and as we get
closer to HY so too we liberate the forces of good and demolish all
the forces of evil.
