The inner wealth is our mind, our consciousness. I believe that this mind is like a wish-fulfilling jewel. If you know how to utilise this mind, it can produce the most beneficial effects. The best way to utilise and develop this mind is to absorb knowledge, and the most important kind of knowledge is the one that makes us a kind person, a decent person, a person worthy of respect. The qualities which make an individual kind, decent and respectable are qualities such as patience, generosity and kindness. The good news is that we do not have to adopt or create these qualities , since they are already potentially there in all of us. In this way, the wealth lies latent within each and every one of us.
So all we need to do is give ourselves, everyday, a bit of a reason to generate these qualities, bit by bit. We actually have to be grateful for obstacles because without them we never learn. It is thank to difficulties and challenge that we can come up with solutions, some of which will work and some not. But even if they don't work, it doesn't mean we should give up. It only means we should try again.
