In a time of deep spiritual seeking, a village awoke to the truth that wisdom, resplendent and unfading, was near to those who earnestly sought her. Amidst this village lived Elias, a humble youth whose heart was set on discerning the mysteries of faith. Night and day, he kept watch by the gates of wisdom, his soul thirsting for understanding like parched land yearns for rain. He often recited the words of the Psalm, “My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God,” finding solace in the sanctuary, gazing upon the divine mysteries.
