Want Not, Waste Not
The minute you want something, you miss the joy. Who is the most joyful person? The one who doesn’t want anything. That’s why the proverb goes, ‘Want not, waste not.’ Don’t waste your life by wanting external things. Instead of your wanting the wants, let the wants want you. When will the wants want you? When you don’t want anything. Seek the kingdom within you. When you realize that, you won’t want anything else, then, everything will want you.
- Swami Satchidananda
