Sufficiency in Need is Sufficient Indeed

The Philosophy of Sufficient Economy

Sufficiency does not mean being deprived but rather having what is necessary for living without indulging in sensual pleasures or practicing self-mortification.

Working hard is acceptable, but overworking, engaging in unmeritorious activities, or participating in illegal activities are harmful actions that should be avoided. It is important to balance work and responsibility, especially when there are family members such as a life partner, children, or aging or sick parents to care of.

Collecting wealth in a sound manner is not prohibited and is considered commendable. Practicing responsibility within the family is also admirable and appreciated.

Fulfilling personal duties is part of spiritual perfection and beatitude, and it is worthy of praise and pride both in mundane and transcendent aspects.
