Just after i dedicated my life to service, i felt that i could no longer accept more than i need while others in the world have less than they need. this moved me to bring my life down to need level. i thought it would be difficult. i thought it would entail a great many hardships, but i was quite wrong. instead of hardships, i found a wonderful sense of peace and joy, and a conviction that unnecessary possessions are only unnecessary burdens.
