The beggar is the only person in the universe not obliged to

Summary

This quote suggests that the beggar, being in a state of poverty and lack, does not need to concern themselves with appearances unlike most people.

They have no material possessions to protect or uphold, allowing them to exist without the need to study or adhere to appearances. This quote highlights the liberation and detachment from superficial concerns that come with being in a state of extreme need.
