Happiness does not depend upon material wealth. Rather, it depends upon true knowledge and self reformation. Whoever has changed his outlook through sufficient knowledge shall reap maximum benefits of being happy and satisfied. His financial unsoundness will not affect his internal and everlasting pleasures in any way. By imbibing knowledge one becomes capable of converting even the adversities into congenialities. Learned people always avail the unexpected opportunities even in the middle of numerous enemies.
Wise and focused people never get affected by any kind of disparity, sadness, worries and fear.They never get perturbed by any difficulty as they experience happiness, contentment and fortune in every situation they pass through.
Hence, it is very important to accumulate knowledge and expand our knowledge bank instead of collecting useless paper bills and other material assets. A saint with very limited means is honored and respected even by the rich and the established for he is spiritually aware and enlightened. We must understand that our biggest wealth is nothing but our own wisdom and virtues. Therefore, we must acknowledge and accept the reality and deviate from the rat race of money accumulation and trot on the path of self reformation.
