Long ago, the Ashkaari lived in a great city by the sea. Wealth and prosperity shone upon the city like sunlight, and still its people grumbled in discontent. The Ashkaari walked the streets of his home and saw that all around him were the signs of genius: triumphs of architecture, artistic masterpieces, the palaces of wealthy merchants, libraries, and concert halls. But he also saw signs of misery: the poor, sick, lost, frightened, and the hopeless. And the Ashkaari asked himself, "How can one people be both wise and ignorant, great and ruined, triumphant and despairing?"
So the Ashkaari left the land of his birth, seeking out other cities and nations, looking for a people who had found wisdom enough to end hopelessness and despair. He wandered for many years through empires filled with palaces and gardens, but in every nation of the wise, the great, and the mighty, he found the forgotten, the abandoned, and the poor. Finally, he came to a vast desert, a wasteland of bare rock clawing at the empty sky, where he took shelter in the shadow of a towering rock, and resolved to meditate until he found his answer or perished.
Many days passed, until one night, as he gazed out from the shadow of the rocks, he saw the lifeless desert awaken. A hundred thousand locusts hatched from the barren ground, and as one, they turned south, a single wave of moving earth. The Ashkaari rose and followed in their wake: a path of devastation miles wide, the once verdant land turned to waste.And the Ashkaari's eyes were opened.
Existence is a choice.
There is no chaos in the world, only complexity.
Knowledge of the complex is wisdom.
From wisdom of the world comes wisdom of the self.
Mastery of the self is mastery of the world. Loss of the self is the source of suffering.
Suffering is a choice, and we can refuse it.
It is in our own power to create the world, or destroy it.
And the Ashkaari went forth to his people.

很久以前，求索者住在一个伟大的海滨城市，繁荣与富裕像阳光一般普照在城市上，然而仍有人民发出不满的怨言。求索者漫步在家乡的街道上，看着周围杰出的城市标志：庆祝胜利的建筑，工匠的艺术杰作，富商的宫殿，图书馆，还有剧院的大厅。但他同时也察觉到了苦难的信号：贫穷，病痛，迷茫，恐惧，无知，无望。于是求索者自问：一个人怎能睿智又无知，伟岸又堕落，成功又绝望？
于是求索者离开了养育他的家园，寻找着其他的城市与过度，寻找一个睿智到能够了结世间的绝望与苦楚。他漫步在一个个宫殿与花园林立的王国，但在每一个杰出、强大的国家，他都发现了被遗忘的、自甘堕落的，或者贫穷的人们。最终，他来到了苍茫浩瀚的沙漠，荒漠中嶙峋的岩石融于寂渺的天空。他在一块高塔般巨石的阴影下开始了冥想，决心要找到答案，即使在此腐朽成灰。
许多天过去了，直到一天晚上，在那片石林的阴影中，死寂的沙漠苏醒了。数以万计的蝗虫由贫瘠的荒野中破茧而出，汇成一体，虫海如翻滚的大地向南前行。求索者起身跟随虫海的行迹：一条延伸数里的毁灭之路，曾经翠绿的大地瞬间化为乌有。求索者顿悟。
生存是一种选择.
世间本无混沌,只有精妙的万物.
知万物者为圣贤.
知万物,则知自我.
知自我者得天下,失自我者生困苦.
困苦亦是一种选择,人人皆可拒之.
创造之力,毁灭之力,均为人力掌握.
于是,求索者走向了他的人民.
