“True wealth is which one offers to the Divine”.
“All wealth belongs to the Divine and those who hold it are trustees, not possessors” [Sri Aurobindo, The Mother, p. 12]
But here wealth has a different character. “True wealth” is what “we offer” to the Divine, an inner offering, in other word, Surrender
“As one offers a flower, a prayer, an act to the Divine, one can offer too a created form of beauty, a song, a poem, an image, a strain of music, and gain through it a contact, a response or an experience.” [Letters on Yoga, p 199]
“Surrender means to consecrate everything in oneself to the Divine, to offer all one is and has, not to insist on one’s idea, desire habits, etc., but to allow the divine truth to replace them by its knowledge, will and action everywhere.” [Sri Aurobindo, SABCL, 23:603]
“The first word of the supramental yoga is surrender; its last word also is surrender” [Sri Aurobindo, Essay, Human and Divine]
