A former poor man came to the sage: Today I am a rich man, and I don’t depend on anyone, yesterday I was pushed around by everyone, but today I am independent. Sage: Ha, tell me, dear one, you stopped your caravan for the night today according to your desire and spiritual desire, or so that your camels could eat, drink, sleep, in the end. Rich man: Well, of course, so that the animals can put themselves in order. Sage: Well, you see, even though you are rich, you live as your beast pleases.
