Contentment Quote by Anonymous

“The more you are possession oriented, the less happy you…” quote by Anonymous — Download Open image

“The more you are possession oriented, the less happy you will be. The less happy you are, the farther away from the Divine, from prayer, from gratitude you will be. Be austere. Live with the necessary and forget about desires; they are fantasies in the mind, ripples in the lake. They only disturb you, they can never lead you to any contentment.”
