| [00:01.74]Gold and Diamond黄金与钻石 [00:04.38]A long time ago, [00:07.09]in Egypt lived a famous mystical person named Zun-Nun. [00:11.25] A young man came to visit him and asked [00:14.75] "Teacher, I do not understand why people like you when you dress in such a simple way?” [00:20.44]The mystic only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers, and said [00:26.57]"Young friend, I will answer your question, [00:29.08]but first do one thing for me, [00:31.71] take this ring and go to the market across this street, [00:35.53] can you sell this for one chip of gold ?” [00:38.70]Looking at Zun-Nun’s dirty ring, [00:41.22] the young man became doubtful, [00:43.19]"One chip of gold? [00:45.15] I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price." [00:48.43]The Young man went to the market quickly. [00:51.39] He offered the ring to the textile, [00:53.80]vegetable, meat, fish traders, and the others. [00:57.62] The fact is that no body was willing to pay for a chip of Gold. [01:02.77] He went back to Zun-Nun’s residence and reported [01:06.60]"Teacher, nobody’s brave enough to offer more than one chip of silver." [01:11.62]With a wise smile Zun-Nun said, [01:14.14] "Now go to the Gold Shop at the back of this street [01:17.42]and show this to the owner or to the gold trader. [01:20.81]Don’t give your price; just listen how much he will pay for this ring." [01:25.51]The Young man went to the shop mentioned [01:28.36]and returned with a different expression on his face. [01:32.08] He then reported [01:33.83]"Teacher, the traders in the market really didn’t know the value of this ring, [01:38.64] the gold trader offered this ring for one thousand of gold, [01:43.03]and the value of this ring was one thousands times [01:46.53]from what the traders in the market offered. ” [01:49.26]Zun-Nun just smiled subtly and spoke softly, [01:52.55]"That was the answer of your question, my friend. [01:55.06]Someone cannot be valued only from his dress. [01:58.90]The traders in the market give value like that but not for ‘The gold trader’.” [02:04.20]The gold and diamond inside someone only could be seen and valued [02:08.68]if you could look at the inner soul. [02:10.87]It needs heart to see, [02:12.84] and it needs a process. [02:14.81] We cannot see it from the words or attitude. [02:17.76]Many a time what we think is a gold, [02:21.04]is only a brass but a brass is a gold. |
