The pride of wealth, manpower and youth seems to be predominant presently. Money is inert, it is lifeless. How can it be strong? Its strength or weakness is the reflection of the mindset of the individual. Wealth and education are like pure water. When water is poured in a bottle of a particular colour, the water appears to be of that colour. In the same way, when wealth is in the hands of a wicked person, it will be used only for evil deeds. Money, if it is in the hands of pure hearted people, will be used for noble deeds. Hence the usage of wealth or knowledge is dependent on the character of the person in whose hands it is. Money is not bad. The intent with which you use money should be for good. Use spirituality to streamline the focus of your mind towards good.
