Flowers scatter fragrance, trees offer fruits in plenty. No one brings wealth when he is born or takes it with him when he dies. Whatever riches one has accumulated have to be freely shared with others. Instead of learning the lessons they teach, man pursues his own sense-cravings and his urge for fame and authority over others. Contentment is the most precious wealth. Greed brings misery in return. Contentment alone can lead man towards the goal of Divinity.

- Divine Discourse,  ,December 25, 1979.

A tender heart is more valuable than all material possessions - Baba
