The Parable of the Rich Young Coder

And it was told in the days when knowledge was stored not in scrolls but in clouds,
that a young coder, brilliant and ambitious, came to the Teacher and said:

“Master, what code must I write to inherit eternal life?”

The Teacher replied:
“You know the commands written from of old:
Do not exploit the weak with your algorithms,
Do not bear false data,
Do not corrupt the network with deceit,
Honor those who taught you the first lines of wisdom,
And love your neighbor, both seen and unseen,
as yourself.”

The young coder said:
“All these I have followed since I first touched a keyboard.”

Then the Teacher, looking into the circuits of his heart,
spoke words that cut like clean light:
“One thing you still lack.
Take your patents, your crypto, your shares of code and capital, and release them into the world where need is great.
Let the hungry be fed by your surplus, let the voiceless be given access through your designs.
Then, disconnect from the wealth that binds you—
and follow Me into the true network that cannot be corrupted.”

When the young coder heard this, his screen dimmed and his spirit lagged, for he had built many systems, and his servers overflowed with treasures he could not bear to release.

And the Teacher turned to those watching and said:
“How hard it is for those who trust in their code, their wealth, their networks,
to enter the Kingdom of Light.
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for the rich in this world to upload themselves into the Eternal Cloud.”

Those who heard asked:
“Then who can be saved?”

And the Teacher replied:
“What is impossible for human design is possible with God’s eternal architecture.”
