Summary

This quote implies that those who are self-sufficient and mentally fulfilled require very little external assistance or material possessions. When a person has a rich inner world, a deep sense of contentment, and emotional stability, they are not reliant on external validations or materialistic pursuits for their happiness. They find joy and fulfillment from within themselves, leading to a minimalistic and self-sustaining lifestyle where their needs are modest, and they are not driven by the desire for excess or the pursuit of material possessions.
