Percival and the Fisher King

To be one ask one......seek and you shall find.....knock and it will be opened unto you...and etc.
Percival sups upon the generous Kings delicacies and sleeps on feathered bed and is given the greatest hospitality in his misty mountain top castle outside of time and even the Grail is brought to his attention. But he was told never to ask questions so not to be ill mannered. And so the Fisher King must continue paralyzed. Had Percival simply asked about the Grail, the King would have been miraculously healed. Alas poor Percival awoke the next day alone and was given an unescorted departure. To ask...to knock...to seek....nothing is found if nothing is sought. It is the same in Freemasonry, you have to ask. The same with knowledge....you have to seek.
