Story behind the song
Once, a boy traveled afar to meet the wisest man in the world. Once he reached the Wise man's mansion he stood in a line as long as the length of an entire block in a major city to speak to him. When he was finally able to meet the Wise man he asked him, "how to find happiness in life". The Wise man told the boy that at the moment he didn't have time to answer that question but if the boy would explore his mansion and come back to him afterwards he would answer his question. The boy agreed. Prior to the boy leaving, the Wise man handed the boy a spoon and filled it with oil and told him as he travels the mansion to take care of the oil in the spoon and see that it doesn't spill. The boy went off, watching the spoon and being careful not to spill it as he traveled through the Wise man's mansion. Hours later, the boy returned to the wise man with the spoon and the oil secured. The Wise man asked him did he enjoy the marvels of his state of the art library collection, or the famous paintings upon the hallway ceilings, or perhaps the luscious vineyards that took the master gardener 10 years to grow. The boy admitted that he had seen nothing because he had focused on not spilling the oil. The Wise man sent him back off with the spoon at hand telling him to pay more close attention to the details of his mansion and upon his return he would give him the answers to all his questions. The boy went off and upon his return the boy was startled by the marvels of the Wise man's mansion, excited with enlightenment as he approached the Wise man. He ran to the Wise man praising the majestic qualities of his mansion and the Wise man smiled humbly. The Wise man then told the boy that he would give the boy all the answers he desired in return of the spoon of oil. The boy looked to the spoon in discontent and grew disappointed as he realized that he had lost focus on keeping the oil safe during his journey. The Wise man then got on one knee looking the boy in the eyes as he grabbed the spoon and filled it back up with oil. "The purpose of life is to experience all the wonders of the world and be enlightened by all of its marvels without ever forgetting the drop of oil in the spoon that you started with.
