There is a beautiful story on Buddha: It is said that when Buddha goes to beg, he would appear as a King and the kings who gave him alms would appear as beggars! Seeming like a beggar or a king is not in the wealth that you hold but in the state that is within you.
Give up anger, give up pride, and free yourself from wordly bondages. No sorrow can befall those who never try to possess people and things as their own.

Effort
Often we continue to suffer without making an effort to change; that is why we don’t find lasting peace and contentment. If we would persevere we would certainly be able to conquer all difficulties. We must make the effort, that we may go from misery to happiness, from despondency to courage.
—Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, “Man’s Eternal Quest”
From: Vishal - a pure soul like You.
