One of Junaid’s followers came to him with a purse full of gold coins.
“Have you any more gold coins?” asked Junaid.
“Yes, many more.”
‘And you are attached to them?”
‘’I am.”
“Then you must keep this too, for your need is greater than mine. Since I have
nothing and desire nothing I am much wealthier than you are, you see.”
The heart of the enlightened is like a mirror:
It grasps nothing, refuses nothing; it receives but does not keep.
