It describes the principal terms Teaching that the master is silence, the reference and the absence, and the necessary commitment of the student, who should in particular be available and accept the necessary duration of maturation.

A story of wisdom, sent by Mr Henry Plée in one of his columns, illustrates some of these principles:

A master of wisdom was very famous passage in a small town. Upon learning this news, the mayor thought it was a good opportunity for residents of the village and asked the master to kindly give a lecture to his constituents on the subject he pleases. Of criers circulated in the streets, announcing to the public that the master of wisdom was going to a conference Sunday in the village hall. Said master was famous for his wisdom and his humor. At the appointed hour, the room was full of men, women and children laughing at the jokes ahead of wisdom which the master was wont to sprinkle his lectures.
The master of wisdom entered the hall, greeted the delighted assistance, climbed on a chair hastily constructed and asked: "Do you know what I'm going to speak? "
-" Yes, Master, we know ! "Said one voice assistance, laughing.
Master grinned and said, "if you know, in this case it is unnecessary to speak. "
And he left the room.
After what had happened, the mayor visited the master of wisdom, he apologized for the awkwardness of his administration and asked to agree to another meeting the following Sunday. At the appointed hour, the master entered the hall, mounted the pulpit and asked: "do you know what I'm going to talk? "
-" No, we have no idea! "Replied the fellow shriveled the previous Sunday.
- "Well, if you know nothing, it is unnecessary for me to speak, since we can not discuss that with what we already know." And the master
bowed and left the room.
The mayor came to see again the master of wisdom and begged him to give residents one last chance next Sunday. At the appointed hour, the master entered the hall and ascended the pulpit.
Nobody laughed. You could hear a pin drop.
The master asked the same question: "Do you know what I'm going to speak? "
Echaudée by his experience of the two previous Sundays, Assembly cautiously replied with one voice: "Well, there are those who know and there are some who do not know ..."
"Perfect," replied the master, "in this case, those who know how to explain those who do not know. " And he left the room, then left the village.
