Contentment

A person was riding a horse, and on the way, there was a beggar who was hardly wearing any clothes. He asked the beggar, ‘How are you, sir?’ The beggar exclaimed, ‘How would one be who has had all his wishes granted?’ The rider wondered how this person’s wishes had been fulfilled. The beggar said, ‘I abandoned all desires; it means they all have been fulfilled.’

In short, when you desire something, then you face challenges, and when you become content, then it is like you have everything. This is [the key to] salvation and deliverance.
