NOBILITY

Only those who are able to relinquish attachments are worthy of being described as "noble."

If the Dhamma (Truth) can be fully realized with intelligence …

If wordly possessions, prestige (rank) and status are not employed to determine one's true worth or ability, i.e., truth.

It can then be said that the virtues/pleasantness of relinquishment have been well comprehended (fully grasped).

In that case, such person is worthy of being (deserves to be) called "noble."

What else is there in the world that is more satisfying (gratifying) than to be seen as a "noble" person?

What else can be there more satisfying in the world than to realize the true meaning of "nobility?"

At this opportune time in this life, may all be endowed with stronger qualities/abilities to make the right choice.
