About the reward for staying true…

“Let me tell you a little story… Many years ago, there was a Prophet, a mercy to all beings, who was asked to consider renouncing the Truth in exchange for all the riches that they could muster… His answer? “If they were to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left, I would still continue to assert only the Truth”… Do you think those are his fingers holding me today as a reward for staying true all those years ago?” – Moonrise over Eastern Mauritius
