Man is enamoured of wealth, spouse and children.
These obstruct him at each step and act
as handicaps to spiritual advancement.
Of course, money is essential for
the process of living and labouring
for it cannot be avoided.
But, beyond a limit, riches foul
the mind and breed arrogance.
They must be used for good purposes,
fostering righteousness and well-being,
and fulfilling one's duties along the Divine path.
If riches are spent for realizing fleeting desires,
they can never be enough and the ego discovers newer
and more heinous ways of earning and spending.
divinely sent
- Baba
