Hanta Yo, giveaway

Ahbleza has given away everything he own to start anew, even his cloths. And that was in wintertime. To know what it is to be “naked”. The meaning of life. Later he tells his brother-friend (p 712) :

“I go naked, yet I learn nothing about suffering; instead I discover the true meaning of the giveaway.
I experience that which appears humbling; instead I discover the greatness of my pride. “


He did not suffer as he had the skills to find shelter and food. He discovered the meaning of giveaway as he soon was given a lot back. The fact that he had the skills to support himself made him not feel humbled. As I understand it, he did not feel like a poor person even if he owned nothing.
