From our old friend...
The kingdom of this world
An old hermit was once invited to visit the court of the most powerful king of those times.
- I envy such a saintly man, who is content with so little - said the ruler.
- I envy Your Majesty, who is content with even less that I - responded the hermit.
- How can you say such a thing, if this entire country belongs to me? - said the offended king.
- For precisely that reason. I have the music of the celestial spheres, I have the rivers and mountains of the whole world, I have the moon and the sun, because I have God in my soul. Your Majesty, on the other hand, has only this kingdom.
