In today’s world, every problem is blamed on money. It is
presumed that all problems of life can be resolved if we have money to buy
everything we need.
The presumption being that buying /shopping/ eating out/
spending money on relaxation would help resolve critical issues of life by
enabling running away from problems for some time.

However, money is not a solution but only a tool which helps reach a destination. The destination can be escape from a problem which is a temporary solution or permanent healing of the problem which requires training skills in emotional management.

If your goal of life is to earn lots of money, you will
always be in problems. You will always keep craving for more. Your life will
never be easy or content. You will have health problems or work problems and
there will always be a need to earn more.
A focus on just earning money leads to suffering. Money is the energy of the lower chakras. It is okay for poor people to just focus on earning money till they become comfortable in life. If the focus on money remains after a level of comfort is reached, it leads to great stress and negativity. Health problems rise if people remain stressed because of money problems which are illusory for the soul. Your level of intelligence and evolution rises, your focus needs to shift to other goals which are of higher order chakras .
Kalyug has come because people kept focusing
on money over everything else. There were increases in manipulations and murders
only for having a secure house and car for life.
But, the house and car never lead to happiness, peace, passion,
love or contentment. Craving never ends with earning money for money.
Money, by itself, creates a need for more money. The more
you earn, the more you spend and the more you need to earn.
As your incomes rise, your expenses also rise but contentment
does not come in. You miss out on the very feeling of satisfaction which you
desired in the first place,
People spend huge amounts on insurance and hospital bills
when medical science has proven inadequate to solve any health problems. Soul
lessons have to be learnt and applied for health problems to be resolved. Just
having money to pay hospital bills will not make you healthy or wise.
There is a great desire to have money to buy cars which leads to stress. In
Crowded streets, of under-developed countries where traffic jams make life feel
suffocated, cars create more problems for mass movement.
In the west, where streets are empty and public transport is
poor, buying cars makes sense. But in the second and third world, where population
is centered as bee hives in crowded places, a desire to buy cars leads to over
trafficking, time wasted in hell and soaring levels of anger in subdued minds.
Instead, metro trains and comfortable, spacious public transport
can be invested upon. Or traffic jams can be used for practicing meditation in
free time to stay positive.
Money is needed to buy houses. People remain stressed because they have to
pay house loans. Houses can be lived on economic basis. It is possible to find
affordable houses on rent. In highly developed countries, houses are bought on installments.
Yu don’t need to own everything you use to have self-respect. It is not
necessary to have your own car, your own house or your own helicopter.
If you are the President of the world and you have to rescue
people in emergencies, you can have more resources at your disposal. But, as a common
man there is no need to stay negative because you cannot afford your own
luxuries. You can enjoy a good life by sharing with love and compassion.
There are paths to happiness in learning sharing, compassion
, in substituting money needs with nature given gifts; like walking instead of using
cars where possible, spending routine time of mental and physical exercises,
spending time on breathing natural air, eating vegetarian food, meditating in
free time , enjoying silence, giving love with loyalty, living in contentment.
Living in craving for more never satiates. You have to
create the energy of feeling satisfied in your present to feel satisfied in
your future. Energies multiply with focus. Whichever feeling you focus upon by
choice you will create. Hence, investment of time and energy needs to be on
learning how to feel positive. When you choose to stay in peace, energy cycles
of peace and happiness are created in your life.
Once you activate
cycles of peace, only those people can walk in your life who can increase your peace.
