Theophane, the monk, tells the story of a man who, after great seeking, finds someone who can give him the "pearl of great price"— that which is of infinite value to him. He asks his benefactor, You mean rather than keep it for yourself, you'll just give it to me?" The man answers, "Is it better to keep the pearl of great price or to give it away?" The seeker now has the pearl, but he is haunted by the question: is it better to keep the pearl of great price or to give it away. And he concludes, "How long will I let this question rob me of my joy?" Even when we receive great gifts in life and are a success in the eyes of the world, if we are too indecisive, we reap no joy from our achievements. We all get stuck at times in 'should I or shouldn't I?' When we decide to trust our deepest intuition and act from our hearts from the highest we know and understand, then we begin to trust life to take care of us. And joy is the fruit of our action as we entrust ourselves to our life.
