THE SUPREME WEALTH

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on July 22, 2012 at 7:00pm
Contentment is real wealth as it gives peace of mind. It is a sentinel at the domain of Moksha. If you keep company with it, it will introduce you to its friends, the other sentinels. These are association with the wise, enquiry into the nature of the Atman, and peace.
If you are earning a hundred rupees per month, do not compare yourself with a man who is earning five hundred rupees. If you compare yourself with others there will be discontent. This will distract the mind and destroy its peace. Compare yourself with the man who is earning far less than yourself. Thank God that He has given you the present state.
