No thing, no riches can give you happiness. Happiness is a result of being at peace in yourself and grateful for that which life provides including right livelihood.
Great story a simple life lesson from a person who knew both sides of prosperity and being poor but found themselves in a position of the good instead scornful attitude a Greatfull hearted person ❤
Ilyas and his wife had success but deep down they desired something else,happiness and over the years it grew in them, they had much but felt distant to each other,worried too much about other things, unconsciously they wanted an easier life without this worry, eventually what they had planted in their heart matured,they exchanged wealth for happiness.Good for them as they stopped complaining about it. However on the other hand,when we pray to God we can ask him to give us the best of this and the next world.Prophet Job and solomon are good examples of those who had best of both. It doesn't have to be either wealth or happiness.Say grant us wealth and happiness,O our lord.😊
So many are liberated by being limited in their choices, but those who use their extra well do even better with this plane. Who knows the mental and spiritual life of another?
Tolstoy's storries prove truth is timeless. Absolute master at expressing for us to hear and read. One day I will thank him myself. God willing.
Tolstoy was a beautiful person.
Blessed IS The Name Of The LORD

I thought I was poor when I he’d no shoes but then I met a man with no feet.

What Leo Tolstoy mean by holy writ in this story ?? Please reply
He means that Ilyas’ sentiments are also reflected by holy writ, meaning the holy writings of Christianity, ie the bible.
