Radhanath Swami on Simple Life
A devotee is happy with a simple life. The more we are trying to find satisfaction by improving the standard of our material opulence through our selfish desires, the more we simply become agitated. The more our minds become disturbed. There is no peace in acquisition. There is only peace in service. There is no inner fulfillment of the heart in acquiring more and more and more. Peace to the heart can only be by expressing our innate love for God and humanity and all living beings. But forgetting this principle, we can easily be diverted.

Radhanath Swami has very nicely articulated the futility of material acquisitions. During the course of acquiring material assets, we face a lot of difficulties & mental stress. And after having acquired the same, just to maintain & preserve the same creates another set of mental tension, problems & unhappiness. There never ever is any peace of mind because of these material aggrandizement. 'Simple living & high thinking' should be the essential mantra for people with strong spiritual leanings.
