18 This wealth lies not upon the surface of the ground; but if you will but dig away the rocky soil, and delve down deep into the earth, you need no longer till the soil for naught.
19 The man believed. The miner surely knows; he said, and I will find the treasures hidden in my field.
20 And then he dug away the rocky soil, and deep down in the earth he found a mine of gold.
21 And Jesus said, The sons of men are toiling hard on desert plains, and burning sands and rocky soils; are doing what their fathers did, not dreaming they can do aught else.
22 Behold, a master comes, and tells them of a hidden wealth; that underneath the rocky soil of carnal things are treasures that no man can count;
23 That in the heart the richest gems abound; that he who wills may open up the door and find them all.
24 And then the people said, Make known to us the way that we may find the wealth that lies within the heart.
25 And Jesus opened up the way; the toilers saw another side of life, and toil became a joy.
