Practical Spiritual Guidance
How should a modern seeker relate to wealth?
1. Earn Honestly, Live Simply
Wealth gained through dharma is not condemned.
But excess obsession is bondage.
2. Practice Dana (Giving)
Giving breaks greed.
3. Remember Impermanence
Time destroys wealth.
Only inner truth remains.
4. Measure Life by Peace, Not Possessions
The richest person is not the one who has most…
But the one who needs least.
