Proper Usage Of Money !!!!Man

has been enslaved by money. People live a superficial, hollow,

artificial life. This is indeed a great pity. One should seek to

possess only as much money as is most essential for his living. The

quantity of riches one must own can be compared to the shoes one wears;

if too small, they cause pain; if too big, they are a hindrance while

walking. Money too has to be with us only just enough for a life of

physical and mental comfort. When we have more, it breeds pride, sloth

and contempt for others. In pursuit of money, man descends to the level

of the beast. Money is of the nature of manure. Piled up in one place,

it pollutes the air. Spread it wide, scatter it over fields - it

rewards you with a bumper harvest. So too, when money is spent in all

the four quarters for promoting good works, it yields contentment and

happiness in plenty. But today, such deeds of renunciation and holy

thoughts are absent. We pride ourselves today as being 'modern'. Does

modernism involve giving up morality and justice? Or, allowing the

senses to run amok? Or, blindly running after countless desires? No.

Modernism means self-control and selfconfidence.

- Divine Discourse, July 17, 1981.
