He does not posses wealth that allows it to possess him.

Summary

This quote suggests that true wealth does not come from the amount of material possessions one possesses, but rather from the individual's ability to control and not be controlled by their wealth. It indicates that a person's value does not solely lie in their accumulation of riches, but rather in their ability to maintain detachment, freedom, and independence from materialistic desires and influences. The quote highlights the importance of one's attitude towards wealth; it is not about possessing an abundance of riches, but about possessing the mentality of not being enslaved by wealth.
