Live a SIMPLE life - I beg to disagree

I am sure many wise people must have told you to live a simple and humble life

Mohandas lived a very simple life, He lived life out of 2 dhotis but in Sarojini Naidu words, his simplicity was very expensive, more expensive than a business man of that time

So the question is, is simple life concept a piece of just a marketing tool to fool people? What is the use of that simple life when it needs a lot of money to maintain

My personal view of experience is quite blunt. Let me explain with an example

I worked very hard for 30/40 years. Paid my taxes, and looked after my family and samaj. Shared my wealth to uplift people around me and contribute to the nation. Still, you should live a simple life. Why shouldn't i get a BMW for myself or live in a good house?

If I have accumulated a million airline miles why should I travel economy when my business class can be free. Just to show people that I am simple?

Do you know the British never had English word for धर्म, कर्म, एंड सरल

सरल is not simple, same as dharma is not religion

I believe that life should not be just simple but the most important is that one should live a सरल Jeevan

What does it mean to me?

सरल for me is ease. This means I should be सरल so that no one has fear while talking to me, no one feels threatened to meet me, I should be easily approachable, I can sit with a top businessman at the same time have no hesitation sitting with the poorest farmer in his field.

Simple is all about things outside you while सरल is all about inside you

Like religion is all about the outside while Sanatan is inside

Humbleness comes from सरल life not simple

Shri Ram was not simple, he did carry his bow and arrow but he was सरल that even Kevat can refuse him, nishadraj could hug him and he could sit with Nal and Neel to make a bridge

सरल is Sanatan
Sanatan is सरल
