Everyone’s rushing to hoard more and more wealth. Multimillionaires are also unhappy because they haven’t reached billionaire status yet.
Billionaires have plenty of competition too. And then there’s their own safety to take care of.
Them billionaires have money, but they still don’t know everything, and need to constantly watch over their shoulders.

He’s not bothered by the wealth around him. Nor does he care for bookish knowledge and seeming intelligent.
His knowledge of the Self far outweighs any other wealth or knowledge out there. And it can never be taken away from him either. It is imperishable. It can never reduce. It is permanent, and leads to the most amazing peace as well.
