For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

everything happens for a reason....and it is usually a good one

today's experience speaking with winston on the "israel attacking iran?" thread.... only reminds me of this concept... in this case, the earlier exchanges served to remind me of His words... very good... it's been a great day... :!:

Man has been enslaved by money.

People live a superficial, hollow, artificial life. This is indeed a great pity. One should seek to possess only as much money as is most essential for his living.

The quantity of riches one must own can be compared to the shoes one wears; if too small, they cause pain; if too big, they are a hindrance while walking. Money too has to be with us only just enough for a life of physical and mental comfort.

When we have more, it breeds pride, sloth and contempt for others. In pursuit of money, man descends to the level of the beast. Money is of the nature of manure. Piled up in one place, it pollutes the air. Spread it wide, scatter it over fields - it rewards you with a bumper harvest.

So too, when money is spent in all the four quarters for promoting good works, it yields contentment and happiness in plenty. But today, such deeds of renunciation and holy thoughts are absent.

We pride ourselves today as being 'modern'. Does modernism involve giving up morality and justice? Or, allowing the senses to run amok? Or, blindly running after countless desires? No. Modernism means self-control and selfconfidence.

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming." - Jim Rohn
"If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he has been wrong" - Bernard Baruch

Spiritual disciplines determine the character of a person. Character determines the destiny - whether good or bad.

Character is built up by constant practice of good actions. Actions, in turn, are based on one's thoughts and intentions.

Whenever any thought arises in the mind, one should examine whether it is right or wrong, if it will do good to society or cause harm to it. Actions should be based on such enquiry.

It would be wrong to blame anyone for our misfortunes. Our thoughts and actions alone are responsible for our plight.
