Wealth

To think of wealth as most important, is a sign of polluted intellect.

For righteousness (Dharma) one needs mind, not wealth.

The Drops of Nectar··

Wealth by itself, does not enslave man. He himself becomes a slave to wealth and thus has a fall.

The Drops of Nectar··

Because of riches nobody becomes great. On the contrary he may become a beggar. In reality great is one, who never wants anything.

The Drops of Nectar··

Whatever wealth one gets today is not due to present actions, but is a fruit of his past acts (destiny). To gain riches with the help of lies, frauds, dishonesty and thefts, as people do, would invite punishment, in the future.

The Drops of Nectar··

It is not sure, that unjustly earned wealth would be useful, but it is certain, to attract punishment.

The Drops of Nectar··

Where there is need for money, there is no godliness, on the contrary, it becomes a slavery of wealth.

The Drops of Nectar··

Just as one spends money to overcome his unhappiness, so must he spend it to remove the unhappiness of others, only then we have the right to hold such riches.

The Drops of Nectar··

For the sake of money using lies, fraud, dishonesty etc., brings about great harm and not much benefit, nor money, Whatever money comes, could then never be used fully. So, for the sake of a minor benefit, to do a great wrong, is not wise.

The Drops of Nectar··

After one's death, man's nature goes with him, his wealth does not. He is only messing up his nature if he accumulates money, fie upon such wisdom.

The Drops of Nectar··

On having wealth, man does not achieve independence, but he becomes dependent on money, because it is alien to him.

The Drops of Nectar··

Even with wealth, man could be a saint, but because of desire for money, one would not become a saint.

The Drops of Nectar··

Penury is not wiped out by getting money, but it vanishes only when the desire for money is given up.

The Drops of Nectar··

Man's respect does not gain by increase in his wealth, but by enlarging Dharma (righteousness).

The Drops of Nectar··

Material things are superior to wealth, man is superior to things, discrimination is superior to man, while God is superior to discrimination, Man's birth as a human being is for realising the Reality (God).
