When possession of wealth or splendors brings happiness- it is an illusion, when attainment of certain mental state brings happiness- it is a real possession.

About This Quote

The idea of "possession" in this quote is quite interesting. It can be interpreted to mean that having your own house, car or yacht is not the same as actually living in it. This idea is made more clear later in the quote where he says, “If wealth or splendors brings happiness- it is an illusion, when attainment of certain mental state brings happiness- it is a real possession.” It can be interpreted that he is saying that material things are not what makes us happy. Happiness instead comes from the state of mind that we inhabit, whether that be positive or negative.
