All in your hands

East parable

Very long time ago in an ancient city there lived the Master surrounded with pupils. Most capable of them has reflected once: «And whether there is a question, on which our Master could not give the answer?» It has gone on a blossoming meadow, has caught the most beautiful butterfly and has hidden it between palms. The butterfly clung pads to his hands, and to the pupil was щекотно. Smiling, it has approached to the Master and has asked:

— Tell, what butterfly at me in hands: live or dead?

It strong held the butterfly in close palms and was ready to compress during any instant them for the sake of the true.

Without looking at hands of the pupil, the Master has answered:

— All in your hands.
