A woman once dreamt of meeting the Creator who was behind a store counter. Approaching Him, she inquired, “What can I buy from you?” The Creator responded, “You can buy everything from me.” She promptly requested, “Then give me health, happiness, love, success and wealth!” The Creator went to the back room and returned with a small envelope. When He handed it to her she asked: “Is that all?” “Yes,” replied the Creator, “Didn’t you know, my store only sells seeds?”

Michael Laitman

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
