The great sophistication of the king before the council of elders

We must take advantage of every moment in this life and save treasures for the times when we need them.

This is how the Rebbe Rabbi Pinto explained to his students with the help of a beautiful deed with great morality

The Admor Rabbi Josiah Pinto, the head of the patriarchs in Morocco, called on his students to take advantage of their stay in the world to do good deeds and mitzvos. The Admor told his students an act that illustrates how it is desirable to take advantage of every moment while we are alive. Here are the full things:

an act with a great morality of mind: there was a country, which had a council of wise and prudent elders. The sages feared that a king would come and rule over them and their sons and grandsons and all the vast treasures of the country. Therefore, they had a way and a custom, how to make their kings king - every three years, they would replace their king.

Every three years they would go and look in the corners of the roads for rebellious poor people who have nothing, and would wisely water them with liquor until they would lose their minds and fall into a very deep coma.

Then the council of elders would kidnap the poor, take him to a large palace, where they would clothe him in royal clothes and reveal nothing to him and thus give him the kingdom, for three years and at the end, water him again, put him to sleep and return him with the clothes taken from him three years Before.

Thus, in cycles of every three years, the kingdom would be transformed and changed.

Those who won the kingship did not understand what was happening to them and would think that in a good dream they are and at the end of the three years they would think they had returned to the reality of their lives.

On one occasion, a poor and wretched, but wise man was taken.

When in the morning he found himself in the king's bed, he realized that a very strange thing was happening to him, but nevertheless he behaved like a king and expected of him.

Wisely, he brightened the face of one of the ministers, got on well with him, approached him and began to ask him what his status meant.

After all, he remembers being poor and destitute.

Slowly, the minister opened his heart and told him the way kings reign.

The king understood and knew that in two and a half years he would return to being poor and destitute.

He immediately took his soldiers and associates and went out of the city, to one of the cities and ordered his soldiers to build a large palace there.

And so, day by day, the king sent to the new palace carriages full of precious stones and pearls and built closed and enclosed treasuries.

After three years, the old men also treated him as usual, putting him to sleep and throwing him away with his old clothes.

Immediately he recovered, got up and went to the palace which he built, whose every good name and life was a life of wealth, not like the other kings in this kingdom, whose wealth and kingdoms returned to the lowlands.

Morality of the mind: This is how a person will see his life.

God brings everyone to this world for a limited time, no one knows his day; he who is wise, fills treasures and guards them for the day he will need them. As the sages say: "Blessed is he who comes here and learns in his hand" and he whose mind is not with him lives life From moment to moment, he passes his time and at the end, returns naked and naked, destitute, and woe to him and woe to his soul.
