- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- A wise man, the wonder of his age, taught his disciples from a seemingly inexhaustible store of wisdom.
- He attributed all his knowledge to a thick tome which was kept in a place of honor in his room.
- The sage would allow nobody to open the volume.
- When he died, those who had surrounded him, regarding themselves as his heirs, ran to open the book, anxious to possess what it contained.
- They were surprised, confused and disappointed when they found that there was writing on only one page.
- They became even more bewildered and then annoyed when they tried to penetrate the meaning of the phrase which met their eyes.
- It was: When you realize the difference between the container and the content, you will have knowledge.
