Only if you accumulate wealth now, can you spend it later. If there are no ‘earnings’ now, what can you do later? You must, therefore, firmly resolve to develop right now, good intellect, good habits, and good speech. Buddha repeatedly stressed the need for samyak drishti or sacred looks, and never tolerated any violation of this maxim by his disciples. Bad looks encourage bad thoughts, which ultimately lead to ruin. Looks must therefore be strictly controlled.
