ARR hit the square. However when you say "MY WALLET" you say you are dependent badly. NOW THE MALAIS LIES ON THAT DEPENDENCY If in still karma yoga, sufferings shall keep hitting; if you cross it wisdom prevails; it makes you confident; how?; if it is not it is yes and if yes it is not; choice is limited; there is no fear at all; fear is in mind; so where the mind is without fear, if not, tomorrow you end; after that you will not be able to reveal anything to this earth. So more than a wallet, YOU ARE THE WALLET. KR IRS 22 8 23
