In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“The most ignorant person is one who does not learn from the changes in this world, and does not change. The most self- sufficient person is one who is not enslaved by greed.”
من كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): أغفل الناس من لم يتعظ بتغير الدنيا من حال إلى حال، وأغنى الناس من لم يكن للحرص أسيرا.
