What resources does a person have? Time is a resource, intelligence is a resource, strength is a resource, knowledge is a resource, and similarly money is also a resource. So the one who is in chains and under arrest will have to use all his resources. He will say, “Whatever I have, I will use it for freedom, for liberation.” If knowledge is needed for liberation, then you need knowledge. If time is needed for liberation, then you need time; If strength, power is needed for liberation, then you will have to earn strength; And if you need money for salvation, then you also need money.
Money is not unnecessary in spirituality, spirituality is not opposed to money. Spirituality says that money is neither good nor bad, freedom is good. So definitely earn as much money as you need for liberation, but do not earn even one rupee more than what is needed for liberation because if you earn even one rupee more than that, then the extra money you are earning will become your bondage. Money is a burden. Shouldn’t happen. If there is a burden on the mind, then money should be used to remove that burden. The unfortunate thing is that the one who is poor is burdened by the fact that he does not have money, and the one who becomes rich is burdened by the fact that he has more wealth, he has to protect it, it has to be increased, it has to be given to him. Have to give it to him. Both of these situations are wrong. If lack of money becomes the cause of restlessness, then it is also wrong, and if abundance of money becomes the cause of restlessness, then it is even more wrong. To the extent that money helps in cutting your bonds, is useful, money It is very necessary. And when money itself becomes a bondage, then money is not only unnecessary but dangerous. A man who is in bondage will use all his resources, all his strength to break his bonds. There can be such occasions in life when earning money and earning a lot of money can be a religion. And there are many such occasions and instances in life when earning money is a great crime. So money is neither good nor bad, it depends on what your mind is going to use the money for. A happy, joyful, free life is the most precious. If any thing helps in the direction of happiness, then definitely bring that thing, and if any thing hinders in the direction of happiness, then pick up that thing and throw it away. The main thing is not the thing, the main thing is life. And the meaning of life is not eating-drinking, sleeping-waking, breathing, life means being able to experience life in joy, in flight, openly.
Well, money is not everything but money is a lot. Money is like salt, everyone needs it, but if it is in excess, it spoils the taste. We all make a goal in life and this goal is somehow related to money. We cannot buy everything with money, but there are many things in life which we cannot buy without money. This is a necessity of our life, for which it takes years of hard work. But it is wrong to lose the comfort and happiness of our life to earn money. It is very important to have money to live a happy life. Money is the only thing with which we can fulfill the needs of our life, there is a saying that love cannot be bought with money, it is also true that love and parents cannot be bought with money, but money and love can not be bought. Cannot be compared. Because we get love and have to earn money. We all know that to earn money we have to sacrifice something in life, but this does not mean that we have to sacrifice our share of happiness. Why do we earn? To find happiness and be happy. So should we remove this from our lives?
Many things are necessary to be happy and prosperous in life, like health, relationships and money are also one of them, not everything. It is absolutely true that it is necessary to have money to be happy, but with this -Peace of mind is also equally important. Of course, we can buy the means to be happy with money, but along with that there should also be peace of mind. Life is made successful only when there is peace in the mind and peace in the mind happens only when there is money, but greed. This should not happen, because greed makes life unsuccessful. Greed destroys all happiness and peace in life, and what is the use of greed’s money in which there is no happiness and peace. One who needs money to win should try to earn as much money as he needs. If we want to do something big in life, then the need for money is also huge, our human body has been given to us as a means to attain God, this facility is not available in any other form. This opportunity is not available even to the gods. Then why misuse this body to earn money? When a person cannot buy even a moment of life by giving all the wealth in the world, then to what extent is it justified to spend his entire life for that wealth? Remember, three types of happiness have been described in the basic texts and scriptures of our way of life. First sensual pleasure: In this pleasure, physical and bodily pleasure which due to ignorance we consider to be the greatest pleasure. Second Brahmanand: When the living being begins to experience God, and third ecstasy: When the living being encounters God himself. The human body given to us is a means to attain God, the living being who does not make good use of this means sometimes blames time, sometimes his own actions or God in vain.
Money is very important for a human being but as much as petrol in a car, neither less nor more. Just like air is necessary for us, water is necessary, similarly money is also very important but there are many things in front of which money has no value. No matter how much money a person has, he can never buy happiness with that money. No matter how much a person earns in his life, he cannot bring back his past with that money. If a person has a lot of money but does not have good health, then that money is of no use to him because what can you do without health. If there is no happiness in someone’s life then even if No matter how much money he has, it is of no use because there is nothing more important than happiness in this world.
The relationship between money and happiness cannot be denied, but happiness cannot be bought with money alone. They believe that it is not possible to achieve complete satisfaction through money alone. Sources of joy and happiness may be different from money. This is something that separates you from materialistic pleasures and you live in constant joy. By helping others, being calm, and caring about others, you increase your happiness. This kind of happiness cannot be bought with money.
