Seeds Not Fruits

A woman dreamt she walked into a shop in the marketplace and, to her surprise, found a wise man behind the counter.

"What do you sell here?" she asked.

"Everything your heart desires," said the wise man.

Hardly daring to believe what she was hearing, the woman decided to ask for the best things a human being could wish for.

"I wish for peace of mind and love and happiness and wisdom and freedom from fear," she said. Then as an after thought, she added, "Not just for me. For everyone on earth."

The wise man smiled. "I think you have got me wrong, my dear," he said. We don't sell fruits here. We only sell seeds."
