Outer
level: Not acquiring too many possessions. Not obsessing over what
we don't have. Not holding on too tightly to what we do have. Not
wasting time in the upkeep, maintenance, and storage of possessions
(including concepts) which don't serve to further one's contentment,
knowledge, and growth.
Inner level: Freedom from false
identification with the things we have (or believe) as "who we
are". Energetic freedom to give and receive freely. Being happy
for the accomplishments and possessions of others and taking inspiration
from that when appropriate, rather than becoming jealous.
Secret level: "When one is free from greed for possessions, knowledge
of one's past and future lives unfold." Yoga Sutra II.39, Sadhana
Pada, translation from BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga Sutras
