Is money the root of all evils? Is money the devil that separates friend from friend, spouse from spouse, children from mother? Is money the cause of all the disparity between filthy rich and hungry poor?

But we all need money to survive. Yes, we need money but our ignorance drives us to the edges where we start to be possessive about money and a time comes when money possesses us. It is like alcohol. As long as you need it, it is fine but when alcohol needs you, you are finished. 



As such there is nothing wrong with “money” it is for ‘use’ but if we are unmindful of its purpose, we start to ‘abuse’ it. That is the problem. Controlling money is fine but when money controls us, we are in trouble. We become drunk with its evil effects. Look at the economic scenario of the world of economics!!!!

I have always seen money as God’s gift to us to fulfill our needs, and then always look for means to fulfill the Wish of God in bringing welfare to the less privileged.

The day we realize the true significance of “dana” donations or gifting, we start to feel different. Dana, giving, opens our blocked channels, for it soothes the hearts of those who are in pain, the beneficiaries. 

After fulfilling your needs look out for opportunities to serve your community in wiping tears of those who are in pain. Sharing with those who are in dire need. Your money will bring boons to you, for you are fulfilling the Wish of God. Recycle right and it grows. Hoard it and it shrinks and suffocates! 
Make money the doorway to heavenly peace,  that is its sole purpose!! The Secret!!
