Quote by Buddha

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one

Summary

This quote speaks to the idea that true fulfillment and selflessness can be found in living a life where material possessions and wealth hold no value. In a world of abundance, it suggests that one should refrain from attaching personal ownership to things and instead embrace a mindset of detachment. By recognizing that everything is transient and not belonging to us, we are able to let go of selfishness and embrace a more pure and selfless way of living, prioritizing the needs of others over our own.

Their manners, speech, dress, friendships, -- the freshness and candor of their physiognomy -- the picturesque looseness of their carriage -- their deathless attachment to freedom -- their aversion to anything indecorous or soft or mean -- the practical acknowledgment of the citizens of one state by the citizens of all other states -- the fierceness of their roused resentment -- their curiosity and welcome of novelty -- their self-esteem and wonderful sympathy -- their susceptibility to a slight -- the air they have of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors -- the fluency of their speech -- their delight in music, a sure symptom of manly tenderness and native elegance of soul -- their good temper and open-handedness -- the terrible significance of their elections, the President's taking off his hat to them, not they to him -- these too are unrhymed poetry. It awaits the gigantic and generous treatment worthy of it.
