pursuit of wealth
From the Bhakti List Archives
• July 5, 1999
Dear Bhagavatas My thoughts on the subject raised by Sriman Mani. This is quote from Thirukurral, a popular work which goes as follows Oorni neer nerith atrae oolagavam periarivalan thiru (pardon me for this curde write-up) the essence which means the wealth possessed by a noble man is equated to a pond which is filled water. Such a pond attracts lot of birds and animals and quences the thirst of many a living beings. Similarly the noble man utilizes his wealth for the benefit of the society. In my humble view, one should not be greedy to amass wealth. If one can still earn some money through his own work without breaking any ethos it is welcome. In the end of the day, we need money for everything, and i feel we should not look into this as material pursuit. In this regard I whole heartedly welcome Sriman Madhavakannan's suggestion is earmarking a percentage for such kainkariams. dasan madhavan
