Restraint and Courage
Simplicity
A short Ma’at meditation on simplicity, truth, and the discipline of right living.
The sweetest water comes from a humble spring.
Live simply, that you may live freely.
Pride in fine garments and ornate palaces is a burden to the soul.
Better a small hut where you laugh than a grand house where you cry.
Possessions, once beyond need, begin to possess you.
Let your heart be light and your footprint gentle on the earth.
Owning little, you have nothing to fear losing.
The wealth of a simple life is contentment and peace – treasures no thief can steal and no time can rust.
