The monk assumes a robe, changes his name, shaves his head, enters a cell and
takes a vow of poverty and chastity; in the East he has one loin cloth, one robe, one
meal a day - and we all respect such poverty. But those men who have assumed the
robe of poverty are still inwardly, psychologically, rich with the things of society
because they are still seeking position and prestige; they belong to this order or that
order, this religion or that religion; they still live in the divisions of a culture, a
tradition. That is not poverty. poverty is to be completely free of society, though one
may have a few more clothes, a few more meals - good God, who cares? But
unfortunately in most people there is this urge for exhibitionism.

Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known
