The Importance of Simple Living

Hikmat is called 'wisdom' in English.
I can say that there is a price to be paid to attain wisdom, otherwise wisdom cannot be achieved. To attain wisdom you need to manage your life in such a way that it should be entirely need-based. If you desire wisdom, you will have to lead a need-based life. You will have to abandon comfort and luxury, because these are sources of distraction. When your life becomes solely need-based, you will have sufficient time for yourself. 
There is a famous saying: 'Simple living, high thinking.'

I believe both simple living and high thinking are interconnected. If you have a simple life, only then you will be capable of having high thinking. If you do not have a simple life, you will have no time. This is because all the time you will want some or the other item. This is why you need to adopt a simple life. You need to save yourself from distractions. You must inculcate modesty in yourself and learn to acknowledge your mistakes.  Whenever you make a mistake, you should immediately acknowledge it by saying: 'I was wrong.' One should never try to do patch-up after making a mistake. One should never try to anyhow prove one's mistakes to be right. 
One must straightaway say: 'I was wrong.' Then the process of your development will continue unhindered. Whenever you refuse to acknowledge your mistakes, the process stops. If you accept your mistake, the process goes on. This is the method to be adopted in this matter, as far as I understand.
