“One can be rich by possessing many things, but that will ultimately be to befooling yourself. You come empty-handed into the world, and you will leave the world empty-handed. All your possessions will haveto be left behind. 
You can waste your whole life in accumulating possessions, but you are not really gaining anything through life. Instead you are wasting an opportunity to be really rich. The real richness is something inner. It has nothing to do with outer things. It does not mean that you have to be against things. It does not mean that you have to be against life. You can enjoy things and you can enjoy life in all its joy and beauty. But remember that's not all. 
Your real treasure is within you. Do not get lost in the noise and the jungle of the world. Meditation is the greatest richness, because it makes you aware about your own real treasure within you. And the key to your own real treasure within you is through meditation, through silence and through  awareness. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart
