Simplified Meaning:

When you want fewer things, you feel happier and more at peace. Imagine someone who always thinks they need the latest phone, the newest clothes, or a big house. They might feel stressed about money, or worried whether they have enough. Now, think about someone who decides to be happy with what they already have—a simple phone, comfortable clothes, and a modest home. This person will likely feel more relaxed and content because they aren’t always chasing after more stuff. For example, in history, many monks and spiritual leaders choose to live with very few possessions. They focus on things that truly matter, like helping others and finding inner peace. You can use this idea in your life by appreciating what you have now, instead of always wanting more. It can help reduce stress and make you feel more thankful and satisfied every day.
