moral conduct of the
society. The more honesty there is, the better humanity will be.
Maintenance
of wealth and utilizing it in proper ways are more difficult than
acquiring it. The first condition for utilizing wealth for proper ends
is the acquisition of it through proper means. I do get upset when I see
that some people are spending money on improper deeds. Learn more about
how to spend when one is wealthy. When you earn, spend so that your
expenditure benefits your nation, relatives and family! Spend so that
your spirit becomes richer, your reputation grows, and your mind and
knowledge expands! Strive to be consistent in your spending or using
your wealth. Do not let additional spiritual benefits leave you by
depending on one single such benefit. Work always, so that the spring of
wealth continuously releases sources. Always focus on this issue. Wealth
should make you closer to the ordinary people, rather than separating
you from them. You need your mind to be rich. Buried money is of no use
to you or society. That will only add to your fears, hesitations and
doubts. It will ultimately cause problems for you.
Wealth
that does not benefit the public is not real wealth. That is not Golden
wealth, but an ordinary piece of iron. Wealth is not the pleasure of
one’s self, but it is the interest of the public. If you utilize
wealth for proper and righteous ends, it will grow. If you don’t, it
will shrink. For the value of wealth will be evident after its proper
use.
Avoid
doing improper deeds with the wealth you have. That is the gravest of
all sins. Investing money in the exchange of things that lead astray or
corrupt people in fact does harm to one’s nation. For the gains you
make out of such investment would only be a disaster that your own
family would suffer from.
