Renunciant Frugality


The point is to be at peace with what goes on in my head. Avoid irrational emotionality – all of which is tied up with the ego illusion. Rest content with the universe as it is here and now. The past and the future are not knowable. The past is gone (memory is notoriously biased) and the future is unpredictable so there is no need to give them heed (except for little bits and pieces of pragmatic mundanities here and there).

Relax, take it easy, that is the message. You already have the vast majority of all that you will ever need. That which you crave will only feed your greed. If there was no greed there would be no need. Therefore cut back and simplify. Renunciant frugality – yoh!
