A young man said, please tell us about friendship.
He replied:
Your friend is the answer to your needs.
He is your land, which you sow with love and reap with gratitude.
He is your table and your hearth, to whom you come when you are hungry and seek peace.
When your friend pours out his heart, you won't fear the "no" in your heart, nor will you suppress the "yes" in your heart.
When he is silent, your heart will not cease to listen to his heart;
For in the unspoken friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are shared with silent joy.
You will not grieve when parting from your friends;
Because when he's not around, what's most dear to you in him will stand out more clearly, like a mountain peak to a climber on a plain.
Don't think of your friendship for anything other than the hope of deepening the spiritual realm.
For love that seeks only to reveal its secrets is not true love, but a net that it casts: and catches only the useless.
Give your best to your friends.
If he must know your ebb, let him know your ebb too.
A friend you only seek out when you want to pass the time, is it still a friend?
