The text states that worldly attainments leave the mind unsatisfied. What does it identify as the source of true gain and happiness?

Chapter 8 argues that worldly pursuits are ultimately futile in providing lasting contentment. It states that even if one were to gain 'the whole earth bounded by oceans,' the 'mind remains unsatisfied.' In contrast to these unfulfilling material gains, the text identifies a different source of value. It asserts that in this 'fleeting human body, only the time spent in holy stories and talk is truly gathered as gain; the rest is waste.' Chapter 8 further clarifies that the path to 'eternal happiness and peace' is through spiritual devotion, specifically the 'worship of God in all beings,' which is presented as the 'giver of the highest attainment.' This inner focus, rather than external acquisition, is the key to true fulfillment.
