Does it mean that whatever we have, where God has originally put us, that is what the real treasure is? That whatever you have, you can turn it into a treasure. Or is it about testing how much you need it before he gives you? It can mean so much. What are your individual takes on it?

I have read this book too. And for me, it is basically saying that you have to find the tresure that is already in you. You may go to different places and be a world traveler, but don't forget to look into you so that you would find what you truly are. But then, you don't have to take for granted the lessons in life that you gain as you travel from one thing to another. These lessons would help you find yourself.
