36. A final thought A woman dreamed she walked into a brand-new shop in the marketplace. “What do you sell here?” she asked. “Everything your heart desires”, was the reply. Hardly daring to believe what she was hearing the woman decided to ask for the best things a human being could wish for. “I want peace of mind and love and happiness and wisdom and freedom from fear,” she said. Then as an afterthought, she added, “Not just for me. For everyone on earth.” The salesperson smiled, “I think you’ve got me wrong, my dear,” “We don’t sell fruits here. Only seeds.”
