Swajan : Mota, What kind of attitude and inclination should I keep towards money?
Pujya Shree Mota : As sadhak experiences increasing trust and faith in God he would definitely realize that having wealth is a sign of grace of God. He realizes that he can help lots of people with this wealth. If he puts his heartfelt sincerity into his actions and uses his wealth to help others he would definitely receive the help (from people that he has helped) in an unseen way in his life. This is the result of good feelings and sympathetic attitude that they carry toward the sadhak. Their blessings to sadhak is the reflection of happiness from help and support that they received in their difficult circumstances.
When you have to walk to your destination it is difficult. If you have the help of bullock cart or railway train it becomes easier. Grace of God has given us this powerful tool (wealth) and if you use it in a right and appropriate way, you can reach your destination with the speed of an airplane. I am telling you all this as you have this false ideas about having money. Having this tool of wealth is a great advantage, not a disadvantage. I am not the only one who believes this. Pujya Shree Arvindbabu (well known saint in India who established ashram in Pondicherry) also believes so. He puts the wealth in much higher category as a tool. If your intentions are pure it will never fail you. So be absolutely worry free in this regard.
I am explaining this matter further so you can have a better understanding of the situation. You can help an innocent person from the attack by the bad guys if you have a sword or some other weapon. We can also protect us from the attacks by thieves or enemies. Not only that but we can kill them too if needed. To have this kind weapon helps us to be deal with our fear. At the same time the same weapon can be the source of our destruction. It is our use that determines whether it helps or hurts us. Tool itself is never bad. We the users are either good or bad. So we should never be afraid of the tool.
