Meaning

Give up your passion for wealth and regain lost divine glory by practising the principles of Yoga in the right earnest.Be contented with the things of the present and start inquiry into the beyond (real truth). That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation; and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation. 

                    The true happiness does not consist in the amount of money in your pocket, or the dress you wear, or the house you live in, but in the wealth of spiritual thought in your brain. That is what makes for human progress, that is the source of all material and intellectual progress, the motive power behind, the enthusiasm that pushes mankind forward.
