Daniel asked this question of Gabriel: What does this passage mean “If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor.”

They were travelling with Daniel’s children.

Am I supposed to sell my home where my children live? The car that takes me to work? Can I not save and work hard to give my children the best, including education.

Gabriel smiled. Keep the home and the car and the furniture. But sell them in your heart. That shirt you are wearing: will you shed a single tear in a year or two when it becomes too shabby to wear to the office?

In your heart, it is already given away. Think the same of everything else.
