Birds in the Heart - Possessions

Can possessions give you a sense of satisfaction?
Can they make your life more fulfilled?
I don't think so. Suppose you are thinking about possessing a particular thing/
At they very moment this intention is activated.
afflictions are also preparing their arrival.
Inevitably, as soon as you possess something,
there will be worries in your mind about it,
and fears that you may lose it.
You have to spend a lot of energy looking after that which you possess.
Thus, your possessions will become burdens.
It does not matter whether your possessions are things,
a carrer, a family, or relationships;
they are all the same.
Therefore,
possessing a mind and heart of clarity and understanding is the only valuable,
and the most happy thing in this world.
