Talk 225.When Sri Bhagavan and Rangaswami, an attendant, were on the rocks,Bhagavan noticed someone in the Asramam rocking in a rocking chair,and remarked to the attendant:

“Siva made over all His own possessions to Vishnu and wandered away in the forests and wilderness and cemeteries and lived on food begged by Him. In His view non-possession is higher in the scale of happiness than possession of things.”

D.: What is that higher happiness?M.: To be free from anxieties. Possessions create anxieties such as their safeguarding, their utilisation, etc. Non-possession does not bring any anxieties in its train. Therefore Siva resigned everything in favour of Vishnu and He himself went away happy.

Disinvestment of possessions is the highest happiness.Source: TALKS WITH SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI Book
