Wealth
results from labour. But work not for extra gains first of all. In the
beginning work to survive and be happy to a modest extent. The amount
you need for survival will be enough for you live on properly. The kind
of wealth acquired improperly is the total of gains unjustly seized from
others.
Properly
acquired wealth is a blessing. Get others to call you not merchant, but
blessed, noble. Let people see that your wealth is legitimate and
blessed and not without legitimacy or blessing. Labour helps you
survive. Proper labour relieves man of his illnesses, being upset,
greedy and poor.
Laziness
is the essence of one’s bodily self.
Labour
is the source of being blessed.
Labour
is also the source of wealth.
Think
about how you will make use of your wealth before attempting to acquire
it. Don’t wait too long to think about it. If you don’t know where
and how you will spend it, then unfortunate results await you.
The
real Türkmen is the one whose heart moves away from the concept of
wealthiness as he gets wealthier. He does not display arrogance on the
grounds that he has accumulated lots of wealth. Nor does he become upset
if his wealth decreases. The wealthier he becomes, the broader his
horizons get since he can find proper ways to make use of his wealth for
his own needs and to the benefit of society.
Wealth
is the foundation and its construction on that ground is Allah’s
mercy.
Let
your wealth be at the service of your spiritual world.
Wealth
is not the possessor of man but man is the possessor of wealth. Now that
you are the master already, don’t try to become the slave!
