TO BE RICH IS NOT A SIN

Swajan ;  What is the use of making money and then hoarding it? Is it not that being rich is an obstacle in the path of spirituality and experiencing God?

Pujya Shree Mota ;  It is not a sin to be rich. There is nothing wrong if we make more money than we need. Not every body develops in same fashion. We are in this circumstances and it may be that we will develop best in this situation. If we cannot utilize this opportunity properly then we may miss to take advantage of the situation. If we are going to develop our life in the service of God then nothing will hold us back, no matter what circumstances we are placed in. It is possible to realize God even in the poorest of the conditions. No matter what circumstances, one is always fit to go near God. Considering this our circumstances can never be an obstacle.

Wealth is one of the most effective tool in the development of the sadhak. One can benefit a lot depending on its use. It can take you in heaven or throw you in hell. If we have opened our eyes towards God we will definitely know the proper use of wealth and in the process get maximum advantage from it. Never think that wealth is not good and leads to our destruction. It is a manifestation of divine energy. When it is pleased with us it takes care of our welfare in every way.
