The Insiders… Dr Suresh Chandra Sarangi

 

If we are inwardly rich,
There is no need to show off,
Because that in itself is beautiful
Inwardly we fear because
We have nothing.
We put on lots of air.
The detached man does it
The powerful man and
 the rich man do it
Strip them of their power,
Their money
Their position,
They are dull, and empty.
A man who wants to show off,
who wants to be assured that
he is some body or
who tells himself that
he is some body,
is really very empty.
The man who is really
thinks himself that no body,
who is nothing in himself
is the only truly happy man.
