Healthy poverty to me means that I feel fullness in my heart. I feel a deep and abiding sense of contentment. There is nothing missing in the fullness of my heart. I do not feel the urge or craving to have something more in my life to fill the cup of my life.
Living this way has simplified my way of living day by day. I receive anonymous precious gifts from nature day in and day out and from people in my life for surviving and flourishing my life. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for such free precious gifts bestowed upon me with no conditions.
There are times when my mind deviates from this way of living, I feel something is missing in me and I look for filling the vacancy from outside of me. I forget the wise saying of Saint Kabir ' Fragrance of happiness and fullness lies within you.' or " All is well" as my mother used to chant.
Paying attention when I mentally deviate from the right path of living fully inwardly and turning back to the path helps me to cultivate healthy poverty and simplicity. There is profound wisdomstated in Ishavasya Upanishad an ancient book of wisdom 'Renounce and Rejoice.'
Namaste!
