A Quaker had this sign put up on a vacant piece of land next to his home: THIS
LAND WILL BE GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO IS TRULY SATISFIED.
A wealthy farmer who was riding by stopped to read the sign and said to himself,
“Since our friend the Quaker is so ready to part with this plot I might as well
claim it before someone else does, I am a rich man and have all I need, so I
certainly qualify.”
With that he went up to the door and explained what he was there for. “And is thee
truly satisfied?” the Quaker asked.
“I am, indeed, for I have everything I need.”
“Friend,” said the Quaker, “if thee is satisfied, “What does thee want the Land for?”
While others strive for wealth the enlightened, being content with what they have,
possess it without striving.
Being well content with little they are rich as kings.
A king himself is a pauper when his kingdom does not suffice him.
