Even if a person be living in a palace, his heart may still be in torment from morning to night. Is that enjoying a good fate? He has a thousand difficulties; his own longings are his enemies. Is that good fortune? Happiness may exist in a cottage. Yet one who suffers from lack of money says, "What good fortune the rich man has!" But the rich man says to himself, "All they want is to get what they can out of me. They are waiting till I close my eyes in order that they may inherit what I possess. Many minds are constantly working against me." And is health good luck? Is a healthy man also the possessor of a mind at rest? Is his heart satisfied?
