A paradigm that depends of the circumstances. Elon musk isn't worse than Ramakrishna, simply they have different circumstances. Anyway, give me 2 millions and I would get more contrmplative. Money is oxygen, who can live without it? Only few who are absolutely open to the totality and the totality put them in the circumstance of have not needs, not trauma, not ego, not desire, no lack. Who is like that? I don't know anyone

Damn straight. What I always remind myself is this body is playing a role. Consistency is the only authenticity. Fake it until you wake it. I play the beggar in the world knowing I am in emperor in the sky. It's not I haven't ego; I want them to believe I haven't ego. Them believing it is me actualizing it. Everything is a game. In my case I'm lucky I do have a shit ton of money in the bank. If someone asks, I will tell them I enjoy living the pauper life and that's how I will stay. I am lucky cause in this case things or people have no power over me.
