问题 The disturbance of the soul cannot be ended nor true joy created either by the possession of the greatest wealth or by honor and respect in the eyes of the mob or by anything else that is associated with causes of unlimited desires...We must not violate nature, but obey her; and we shall obey her if we fulfill the necessary desires and also the natural, if they bring no harm to us, but sternly reject the harmful... The man who follows nature and not vain opinions is independent in all things. For in reference to what is enough for nature every possession is riches, but in reference to unlimited desires even the greatest wealth is not riches but poverty.
  Insofar as you are in difficulties, it is because you forget nature; for you create for yourself unlimited fears and desires. It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

答案无论是拥有巨额财富,还是荣誉,还是芸芸众生的仰慕,或任何其他导致无穷欲望的身外之物,都无法了结心灵的烦扰,更不能带来真正的快乐。我们不可悼逆天性,而应顺性而为;而所谓顺性,乃是去满足必需的欲望,以及自然的欲望,如果后者并不带来危害,反之则应严加抵御。顺性而不为妄言蛊惑者,可独立于天地之间。凡满足天性者,一点一滴便足以使人富有;而若是填补欲壑,纵然是万贯家财,所带来的也不是富有,而是贫困。 你之所以困难重重,乃因为忘却天性;是你为自己设置了无穷的恐惧与欲望。与其锦衣玉食却忧心忡忡,不如粗茶淡饭却无忧无虑。
