A certain brother asked one of the old men a question, and said to him, 'Do you wish me to keep two darics as provision for the needs of the feebleness of the body? ' And the old man, perceiving his mind and also that he wished to keep them, said to him, 'Yea.' Now when the brother had gone to his cell, he became troubled in his mind, and he debated in his thoughts, saying, 'Did the old man speak truthfully or not? ' Then he rose up, and went back to the old man, and made excuses to him, and said, 'For our Lord's sake, tell me the truth, because my thoughts are troubling me about these two darics. ' The old man said to him, ' I spake to you as I did because I saw that your mind was to keep them, but it is not necessary for you to keep the two darics, except only for the need of your body. But why is your hope set upon two darics? If by chance they were lost would not God take care of you? Let us then cast [our] care upon Him, for it belongs to Him to take care of us continually.'
