In his evening blessings, Pramukh Swami Maharaj offered a description of true wealth and happiness, as well as the means to achieve them. True wealth is not derived from money, fame, or power. These things merely breed more desires, which lead to greater unhappiness. "To rid oneself of desires, ego, etc. one must find a true saint, and keep his company" explained Swamishri. "Unless one associates with a true saint, he will surely be unhappy" Swamishri concluded.
