________________ Contentment A common citizen of the modern times can attain means of luxury infinitely superior to those that were beyond the reach of the great Emperor Akbar in the Middle Ages. But, then, the peace that was enshrined in the heart of the common citizen of that age has far receded beyond the grip of even the most affluent aristocrat of to-day. Peace after all doth not stem from the paraphernalia of luxury and comfort, but from the contentment of one's mind. Possession Regulated One who has taken the vow of regulated possession in his life, can alone find happiness and peace on this earth. Circumscribing the range of earthly possession by itself implies the regulation of our natural propensity to store up wealth. One adopting such voluntary regulation, not only renders his own life happy; but others, too, coming into contact with him are likely to undergo the least exploitation on account of him. 6 .
