Once a man came to visit the Maggid of Mezeritch. He was shocked to see how empty the Maggid's home was. There was hardly any furniture; the tables, chairs, and beds were all made of simple boards or stumps of wood. The man could not help asking the Maggid why his house was so bare.

The Maggid replied: "And where is your furniture?"

"In my home, of course."

"Why don't you have any with you?" the Maggid continued.
