for Those In Search of "The Real Gold"

WHAT IS IT?
Like an abundant mine, with many recesses of treasures, so that however deep men
go they never reach the end, but rather in every recess find new veins with new riches
everywhere.
- The Spiritual Canticle
The Miner and the Bandit
Once upon a time, a miner was going down the mountains, passed a stream and was
met by a one-eyed, one-arm bandit. In his one hand he held a gun pointed at the
miner.
"Gimme all that gold you got there, old-mine or else."
"Oh, come now" said the miner. "You don't have to steal here. I will give it all to
you"
The bandit fled.
A few miles down the road they met again. What now, thought the miner, I gave him
all the gold i had.
Surprised, he saw the bandit hand him back the bag full of gold.
"Why are you giving it back?" He asked.
The bandit replied,
"I would rather you give me that which you have that made you give me the gold."
