This is a great video. Perhaps some will see it for the first time here. Thanks so much for making a space for it.
But it is a correction and not a complete equation. For all of those with sufficient wealth or a disposable income it suggests the next goal, an inner discovery. The Buddha spoke of “moderation.” Some fame, some wealth, some power has a place.
Another quote I like very much is “Expectation leads to frustration.” – Sri Chinmoy http://www.bristolmeditation.org/files/2015/11/MeditationClass1.pdf Our inner life has an importance. We also need to sustain our lives. We need food, shelter and water. The risk is that we become like addicts where we constantly think that the next injection of any of these things will completely satisfy us. It is when we stop chasing things that we can begin to find an inner calm, a center from which both creativity and discipline can flow.
