Who is truly the richest person, and how should we look at our possessions?
Real wealth is freedom from desire
From the view of Indian culture, the richest people are the sannyasis walking on the Ganga bank at Rishikesh. They are free from the bonds of desire and sit near God. A fakir saw that the Giver feeds the bird, and threw away even his bowl.
When the fakir saw that the Giver puts food right into the bird's beak, he said: then why attach my heart even to this bowl, why even count it as my property?
