When you can sleep comfortably on a simple mattress, why stress about buying an expensive bed?
When simple plates and vessels can hold food, why spend on expensive ones?
When shelter can be found in basic homes, why struggle to build luxury houses?
The second chapter of the second Skanda of Srimad Bhagavata prompts us to think in this direction.
Focus on what is necessary, not on excess.
We should look for simplicity in life. Meet our basic needs without being driven by the desire for luxury. Instead of constantly chasing wealth or material possessions, we can find contentment in fulfilling our true needs - food, water, shelter, and rest. This approach reduces unnecessary stress and helps us live in harmony with what is available. When we let go of wanting more than we need, we can lead a more peaceful, balanced life, free from the burden of excess.
This will leave us with more time to contemplate upon and achieve higher goals of life.
When the time for creating the universe came, Bhagavan handed over the Veda to Creator-Brahma. Veda contains knowledge of what to create and how to create. Vedic vibrations are energy. This energy was used to create both matter and energy present in the universe.
Balarama and Rukmi were playing dice at the wedding of Krishna's grandson, Aniruddha. Rukmi cheated and announced himself as the winner. Balarama was even ridiculed by Rukmi. Balarama killed Rukmi in a fit of rage.
