Before distributing their wages, King Hiram of Tyre addressed a lodge of Master Masons: "The True Word is not difficult, but it dislikes definition. Even if there is but a little talk, it is about definitions or it is about ineffableness. This old Mason is not within the ineffable. Do you value this teaching or not?"
A brother said to him, "If one is not within the ineffable, how can its value be judged?"
King Hiram said, "I don't know either."
The brother argued, "Brother, if you do not yet know, how is it that you say you are not within the ineffable?"
King Hiram said, "Your questioning is effective. You may collect your wages and go home."
