A way to introduce the Truth

The Parable of the Forgotten Garden There was once a small village surrounded by a vast, ancient forest. Hidden deep within the forest was a garden of unimaginable beauty. Its flowers bloomed with colors never seen before, and its fruits carried the essence of every flavor in the world. It was said that the garden held the secret to life itself, but over time, the villagers forgot it existed.

Generations passed, and the village began to struggle. The crops grew weaker, and the rivers ran dry. People turned against one another, blaming their misfortunes on forces beyond their control. They clung to what little they had, unaware that the answers they sought lay hidden in the forgotten garden.

One day, a traveler arrived, carrying a small seed. He told the villagers, “This seed comes from the garden you’ve forgotten. It is a part of you, as you are of it. If you plant it and nurture it, it will lead you back to what was lost.”

At first, many villagers dismissed the traveler, unwilling to believe that such a place could exist. But a few—driven by curiosity and hope—decided to plant the seed. Slowly, as the seed grew, it revealed paths through the forest, guiding them back to the garden.

When they reached it, they realized the truth: the garden had never been lost. It had always been there, waiting for them to remember. And as they shared its bounty with the village, they discovered that the secret to life was not something hidden far away but something they had carried within themselves all along.
