Understanding your true self means everything is yours. Practicing people understand what is the correct way. When you get old then you will understand. I am sixty-six. All desires disappear.
Many people say that a human being's job is to get money, sex, etc.
Human being's inside job is to attain your true self and save all beings. If you understand that, then this whole world can be yours. That is the Buddha's teaching. If you attain your true self then you become completely independent. In fact, a completely independent mind is your true self.
