Summary

This quote highlights the idea that true freedom lies in being independent from external circumstances and possessions. The man being described is someone who is not bound by the expectations of society or the fear of failure, and therefore possesses a sense of autonomy and self-mastery. Despite not having material wealth or possessions, he still feels complete because he has attained inner freedom and does not rely on external validation or dependency. In essence, the quote suggests that true wealth and fulfillment come from being in control of oneself, rather than being dictated by external factors.
