Diriah, The Sage
One day while in deep meditation, out
of this profound silence, Diriah heard
a deep powerful voice within his mind...
He was quite astounded, falling to his shaking knees at what he heard. Diriah realized that it was the voice of God...
And God spoke, rise up Diriah, for your time has finally arrived, knowing the secret desires of your heart I will tell you what you must do...
As a wise and learned sage, I welcome you on your journey towards monkhood, young Diriah...
Being a monk is a noble, pursuit, one that requires a great, great deal of courage,
discipline and a deep, sincere, devotion
towards spiritual grace and much enlightenment...
I can see that you are eager to learn and grow, and that is a good sign. The path of a monk is not an easy one, but it is one that will bring you great rewards if you remain steadfast and focused.
As you embark on this journey, there are a few things that you must keep in mind. First and foremost, you must learn to quiet your mind and focus your thoughts...
This can only be achieved through meditation, prayer, and other spiritual practices that will help you to connect with the divine and to find peace within yourself.
You must also be willing to let go of your attachments to worldly possessions and pleasures. The path of a monk is one of simplicity and humility, and you must be willing to embrace this way of life if you wish to succeed.
Finally, you must be prepared to serve others and to dedicate yourself to the betterment of all beings. This is the true calling of a monk, and it is a calling that requires great compassion, empathy, and love.
So, my dear Diriah, if you are truly committed to this path, then God welcomes you with open arms. May your journey be filled with wisdom, love, and light, and may you find the peace, love and fulfillment that you seek.

Diriah had always felt a deep calling to pursue a spiritual path. He was a man of great conviction and integrity, and he felt that the path of a monk was the most noble pursuit he could undertake.
Diriah had always been fascinated by the teachings of the great spiritual masters, and he had spent years studying various religious traditions and spiritual practices...
But he knew that to truly embody the principles of these teachings, he needed to live a life of simplicity and humility.
And so, one day, he decided to leave behind his worldly possessions and embark on a journey to become a monk. He set out on foot, with nothing but a small pack of provisions and a heart full of hope.
The journey was long and arduous, and Diriah faced many challenges along the way. He had to endure extreme heat and cold, hunger and thirst, and sometimes dangerous encounters with wild animals. But through it all, he remained steadfast in his resolve.
Finally, after many weeks of travel, Diriah arrived at a remote monastery nestled in the mountains. The monastery was quite surrounded by scenic forests...
Many deer, elk, wolves and other spirited forest creatures roamed these hills with cold streams, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of incense.
Diriah was welcomed warmly by the monks, who saw in him a kindred spirit. They took him under their wing and began to teach him the ways of the monk.
Diriah spent his days in meditation and prayer, learning to quiet his mind and connect with the divine...
He also spent time studying the teachings of the great spiritual masters, and he was amazed by the depth and wisdom of their words.
But becoming a monk was not just about study and contemplation. Diriah also had to learn to live a life of simplicity and humility...
He had to let go of his attachments to worldly possessions and also pleasures, and he had to learn to serve others with compassion and love.
Diriah found great joy in serving his fellow monks and the surrounding community. He helped with the daily chores of the monastery, tending to the gardens and preparing meals...
He also spent time teaching children in the nearby village, sharing his knowledge and wisdom with those who were eager to learn.
As the years passed, Diriah became a respected and beloved member of the monastery. He had found the peace and fulfillment that he had been seeking, and he knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be.
And so, Diriah lived out his days in the monastery, a humble and dedicated servant of the divine...
He discovered the path that he had longed for within his heart and always been yearning for and he knew that God had blessed him on his long journey to
find it...
