From Osho "The Mustard Seed"

If you are a stranger to yourself, even the whole world will not fulfill you.

If you have not got into your own being, then all the riches will make you even poorer.

This happens: the more riches you have, the more poverty you feel because now you can compare; with outer riches,

the inside in comparison looks poorer and poorer and poorer.

Hence the paradox of the rich man: the richer he gets, the poorer he feels; the more he has,

the more he feels that he is empty – because the inner

emptiness cannot be filled by outer things.

Outer things cannot enter into your being.

The inner emptiness can be filled only when you achieve yourself, when you attain to your being.
