Gold Inside Us

Long times ago, in Egypt lived a famous mystical person name Zun-Nun. A
young man came to visit him and asked "Teacher, I do not understand why
people like you dress in such a way and very simple, isn't in this era
was
necessary to dress neatly, not only for performance but also for other
reasons?

The mystical only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers, and
said
"Young friend, I will answer your question, but first do one thing for
me,
take this ring and go to the market across this street, can you sell
this
for one chip of gold?

Having looked at Zun-Nun's dirty ring, the young man became doubtful.
"One
chip of gold, I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price."

"Try first, young man, who knows you did it." The Young man went to the
market quickly. He offered the ring to the textile, vegetable, meat,
fish
traders, and the others. The fact was that no body was willing to pay
for a
chip of Gold. He went back to Zun-Nun residence and reported "Teacher,
no
body was brave to offer more than one chip of silver."

With a wise smile Zun-Nun said, "Now go to the Gold Shop at the back of
this
street. Show this to the owner or to the gold trader. Don't give your
price
just listen how much he will pay for this ring."

The Young man went to the shop mentioned and returned with a different
expression from his face. He then reported "Teacher, the traders in the
market really do not know the value of this ring, the gold trader offer
this
ring for one thousand of gold, And the value of this ring was one
thousands
times from what the traders in the market offer.

Zun-Nun just smiled subtly and spoke softly, "That was the answer of
your
questions my friend, "Someone cannot be valued only from his dress "The
traders in the market" give value like that. But not for "The gold
trader"

The gold and Diamond inside someone only could be seen and valued if you
could look at the inner soul. It needs heart to see, and it needs a
process.
We cannot see it from the words or attitude that only seen for a while.
Many
time what we think is a gold, is only a brass but a brass is a gold.
