SPIRITUALITY AND MONEY

The spirit is the main cause for every material thing: you need to accept this truth. 

Then – you have a consciousness also, because spirit is giving you life; life gives you mind, consciousness; then it’s observation from some higher being: what he is deciding to do – pure selfish things – or he cares for the others also.

I’ve noticed myself: if society is prosperous and happy, you will be prosperous as well. If you alone are prosperous and happy – that will create too much jealousy and animosity towards you: it will be a dangerous situation. It is a very good idea to work so that the whole society becomes prosperous.

Mostly it is said that the more prosperous you are – the less spiritual you are?

Guruji: No, this is wrong. The more prosperous you are – and if you are a good person – you will be in a situation and position to help many, many other people also. And by creating some great work, you will be able to give jobs to hundreds and thousands of people: this is a very spiritual thing. 

How? 

God lives in our heart; so if you are giving 1000 people work, a job, money – means you are serving God indirectly: God is inside them also! Think like that.

But Jesus Christ says it’s very hard for a rich person to reach heaven?

Guruji: Because he can create a heaven on earth itself! That is another point which he failed to mention – or someone failed to record. If you are rich – you can create heaven for yourself and your friends and your dear ones: you don’t need to die to reach heaven. You can create it yourself! For this some money is required – and very good intentions.
