Simplicity is something
that our fundamental nature inherently
possesses. If we prepare in advance and nurture it
within ourselves, then wherever we happen to be, whether in
wealth and high rank, or poverty and low status, in foreign lands,
or in difficult circumstances, we deal with whatever situation we
are in by retaining our simplicity there. It is not increased
when we do great deeds or reduced when we are
dwelling in obscurity. Wherever we go,
we are at peace, because we have
found simplicity.
