Let us say you have filled a
box with Rupee notes (dollar bills), and we have filled a box with
newspapers. If you do not put the rupee notes to proper use, then what is
the difference between the box of rupees and the box of old newspapers? Likewise, gold is placed inside one box, and stones in another
box. It is on using the gold that it reflects
its standing and the stones reflect its standing. However, if you do not put it to use, then
what is the difference between gold and stones? By this it is
proven that these things (money
etc) are of use only upon utilizing / spending, not
on hoarding; or else you will have to
die leaving it behind. Now if you die leaving
behind more money then what? and if you die leaving behind less money, then
what? The association with that money
will not remain. Therefore whatever things you have, spend them
in suitable and deserving way.
By spending it, it will be of use to you and to others. To frivolously destroy money and things is
not humanity and to only save and hoard is not humanity either. Wherever
there is a need and it is a suitable and deserving place, then spend it there. Also the acquisition of money must be through
honest means. This is humanity. One is not to get trapped in greed. For
sustenance, one has to eat food etc., by
which the body will remain healthy. Do
prayer and worship of the Lord and serve the world as well, and also do the
housework and occupation. For all this, the body has to be kept healthy. If the
body begins to indulge in sense pleasures, then in the process of enjoying
pleasures the body will become weak. It will be of no use
in doing any work. You will certainly
not be able to attain spiritual progress,
but even work and occupation in this world will not get done. The
reason is that it becomes difficult to serve with a diseased body. To hoard things and to enjoy sense
pleasures - are demoniac tendencies, not
the tendencies of a human being. It is
these demoniac tendencies that are binding -
"nibandhaayaasuri mataa" (Gita 16/5)
Man has to be alert that one
has not earned money only to hoard it.
One has not earned money only for indulging in sense pleasures and for
rest and relaxation; but after utilizing it for one's self sustenance, one is
to put that money to use in spiritual and worldly dealings. We have to make spiritual progress. Let
us have a long term view, that after death, let us be benefited, let us be
liberated. If you continue to sin, then
later on, you will have to go to hell,
you will have to go to 8.4 million wombs. It is extremely essential to think about
these things. Man's main purpose and aim
is to attain enlightenment, to attain one's salvation. What
is salvation? When there is total
gains, and there is no loss of any sort.
When on attains the highest happiness,
and where no sorrow can reach.
Only joy and joy remains. This is
called salvation. This is called
liberation. To attain this
state, this human body has been
received, not for getting entangled in worthless sense pleasures and suffering
great sorrows.
