In worldly life, it is essential to earn money for a living, but as long as those monetary dealings are not ideal, they are not considered pure. And for the one whose worldly interactions have spoiled, the Self and its realm will not refrain from spoiling. Various explanations regarding money have been given in absolutely revered Dadashri’s Knowledge-laden speech which set forth the art of worldly interaction, such as does one attain money through effort or intelligence? How do demerit karma and merit karma (paap-punya) get bound? . The ardent prayer is that mahatmas (those who have received Self-realization through Gnan Vidhi), upon churning these aphorisms on monetary dealings, break the belief that there is pleasure in money; in the ups and downs of life, in the face of fear and externally-induced problems, they use the keys of Gnan (Knowledge of the Self) to solve problems of worldly interactions with understanding, and in turn experience the eternal bliss of the Self.
