Are you in search of Mr. Money? Or, would you like to read the interesting things about him? Or, would you like to stay with him honestly? This article aids you on your way to understand, welcome and deal with Mr. Money?
An ordinary paper certified to have value is called money, just as an ordinary stone generally recognized and valued by most of the people is known as gold. I go to a hotel to answer my hunger, or I go to a textile shop to check my eligibility for buying dress. They ask me whether I have worked. I say "yes." They ask me to show evidence and I produce a piece of paper called 'money.' Hence money is token of my labor. What I earn by labor is my money. So money is not (your) money if you possess it without sweating on your part even though you have inherited it. If you do not deserve to possess the money that you have now in your hand, or bank account or as your property, you may rightly be called as a thief as per the wordings in the dictionary of Truth.
The Real Value of Money
A thousand rupee note (Indian money, for example) is found by the side of the road. Imagine, first a typical worldly man passes on that way. His heart jumps to sky to pick it up. He looks around and rushes home with a prayer not to be interrupted or enquired by anyone on the way. Secondly, imagine a sage, the renouncer of all to visit that place. He may leave the place quite undisturbed by it or he may simply smile at it to think how the world tries in vain to tempt him. Finally imagine a street dog. It looks at it, sniffs it, then urinates on it and leaves that place in search of something valuable ( eatable) to it. Tell me now - " What is the real value of money?" Money has no (fixed) value at all. It is the needs and desires in our mind and our so-called imposed knowledge of it that adds value to money. You may promise billion dollars to an angry uncivilized tribe begging for your life, but in vain since it values nothing to them. The more you grow intellectually the more the value of money changes to you.
Bank Versus Stomach
You are made into a billionaire but dropped into an uninhabited island where nature also provides nothing to eat. Will your money answer your hunger? In the absence of money, food and water will suffice your survival but not vice versa. Man is mad after money without raising the question - how much do I need it? He is never content with what he earns or what he has. The more he earns, the more his desires and so-called needs grow. The horizon moves back as much as he goes ahead to reach his destination. The society fuels his burning heart. His valuable peace and freedom, and the divine delight from nature are swallowed by this hungry monster 'Money'. He is sleepless and just for money stays away from the care and affections of his own better-half and blood relations. Why should man build his own prison with the bricks of money and power?
Money - A Password to Hell
Since your life on earth is impermanent, the money you have cannot be yours for ever. Is money a prostitute? The money which was with someone once is at present with you and will be with yet another one tomorrow. Like a whore, it attracts everyone irrespective of gender and age who uses it and passes it to others for their use. In fact money jails you with all illusions; it spoils your mind opening all gates to the wicked world; infects your health sucking all your energy by addicting you to all bad habits. Money offers you more rights to sin, more rooms to hide and more emergency windows at danger. Besides, to be money is to be with fear - it means, you have uninvited guests with smiles at your door such as burglars and kidnappers. You remember money and your children forget labor. They find joys and freedom behind your money which favors them to ruin. Think why money should favor very few and fall in love with them who are called billionaires and are held in high esteem in a his own country where beggars are held in contempt and unemployment issues drive the victims to crimes which offers employments to police and lawyers. Money simply smiles at all these dramas.
Money - A Password to Heaven
Everything in nature plays dual role - constructive and destructive. A knife which saves a life being in the hands of doctor, kills the same being in the hands of a murderer. Fire which lights up your dark home like a comrade, burns it with rage like a foe. Likewise money which is a key to hell is also a password to open the Golden Gates of Heaven. It takes you from the hell of poverty to the heaven of joys. The necessity of money is felt from your very birth where the surgeon needs to be paid. The inescapable hunger, accustomed dressing, thirst for knowledge, longings for your dream house, search for your life partner and such needs of your children and other dependants are all answered by Mr. Money only. Sometimes, for your own funeral and grave, you need to pay in advance. Money promises you social status, rescues you in accidents, aides you in your expensive research, empowers you for your tours and travels around the world and qualifies you a more independent philanthropist. With money, you build your own heaven.
Mr. Money, the chief guest who visits your abode has to be sent off but ensure yourself that the entry and exit paths for him should be paths of labor and virtue respectively.
