He had everything, but he possessed nothing. There is the spiritual secret.
When you lose everything, then you have something. It's exactly the opposite because everything that you have, it's not really yours. What is yours, you don't need to earn. It's yours by right.
If you truly have it, you never lose it; and if you lose it, you never truly had it.
The authentic insight and experience of any human soul, were it but insight and experience in hewing of wood and drawing of water, is real knowledge, a real possession and acquirement.
I learned that you can't truly own anything, that true ownership comes only in the moment of giving.
Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.
