Three seers were encouraged to find what had been called the cave of wisdom and life. They made careful preparations for what would be a challenging and arduous journey. When they reached the place of the cave they noted a guard at the entrance. They were not permitted to enter the cave until they had spoken with the guard. He had only one question for them, and he demanded that they answer only after talking it over with one another. He assured them that they would have a good guide to lead them through the regions of the cave. His question was a simple one, "How far into the cave of wisdom and life do you wish to go?" The three travelers took counsel together and then returned to the guard. Their response was, "Oh, not very far. We just want to go far enough into the cave so that we can say that we have been there." The response of the guard manifested none of his great disappointment as he summoned someone to lead the three seers a short distance into the cave and then watched them set out again after a very short time, set out to make the journey back to their own land.
