Candy For One and Bitter For Another

The shrewdest traders in this mart (carefully) inspect the genuine and spurious wares.
To him (such an one) the mart is a place of gain, while to others in their blindness it is a place of loss.
Every particle of the world, one by one, is a fetter for the fool and a means of deliverance for the wise.
It is (sweet as) candy for one and (bitter) as poison for another: it is (beautiful as) mercy for one and (terrible) as wrath for another.
Every inanimate thing tells a tale to the Prophet: the Ka‘ba testifies to the pilgrim and is eloquent (on his behalf).
The Masnawi - 6 - 4280
