ON CONTENTMENT AND AMBITION

As God showers his graces abundantly on him, his days are filled with peace and nights with sleep, undisturbed. He seeks the company of the virtuous 'like minded' men often. And he finds light in religious books always. The light that emerges from such sublime companion, or sober book disenchants him from the earthly glamour. He has no hopes to rise, nor fears to fall. As a matter of fact, he stands detached from the impermanent hollow objects that disillusion the earthly man.

He is Lord unto himself, better than any lord of the land of any brand. He possesses nothing, wants nothing, and lives for nothing except that, that takes him to heaven. He is the Prince among men and lord over all lords, for he is contented with what he has. Contentment is the mother of happiness. He is that personified. So emulate him and enjoy the heavenly bliss.
