I have seen many people saying that the money is the only criteria to live in this world.

To live in this world happily money is not the only criteria. We should have knowledge first to live happily. Without money also we should know to accept this beautiful world.

Why is money is important to us?

To buy what we need. Like to pay for our education, hospital bills, personal requirements, properties to our likings, furniture to our comforts, and many many gadgets to assist us in our day to day life. But, we do not know that our precious time is wasted in maintaining such gadgets in first place.

Secondly, we spend lot of money for hospitals due to sugar problem, blood pressure and so on.

Have we ever thought the reason for getting such diseases? Purely because we need to maintain all the materials we have with us and due to the pressure maintaining such materials we become tired and diseased.

In India, in the Railways they write," LESS LUGGAGE MORE COMFORT; MAKE YOUR JOURNEY A PLEASURE."This is very important to compare with our life.I have seen many people worrying about the properties,going to Courts to solve their property related desputes,Worrying to keep their jewels in safe deposit lockers and so on. But, why all this.

A great scientist will not have time to think about his dresses, food, and material likings.Once Bernard shaw went to a party with his usual dress. He was detained at the entrance and was informed that this party is for rich people and not to beggars like him. He did not say anything and went back home and took out a rich fashionable suit and went for the party again. The security admitted him in with a Royal solute to him.And during the dinner he took out his coat and said to the coat to eat. On seeing this others asked him,why he does so? He said people are not respected here. Only the dress is respected here. So only, I asked my coat to eat.

Same way we always think about a person and value his personality by the quantum of wealth and materials,properties he has gained or acquainted.If we know that he is rich enough with money and wealth we use to say that he is the man fit for fame.

But, can we not live without money? It is possible and simple also. In those days, Brahmins were not doing business, and were praying to God only. When they needed food, they use to go to paddy field and collect the left out of the paddys and bring them home,clean and cook and eat.They were not worried about their dress. A simple dothi (a white colour cotton towel like thing) and a cloth to cover the top. They do not have fancies towards jewels. But, still their eyes used to be very bright. The level of their confidence is high. They never used to worry. All their needs are very simple.

Here in Indian Government the servants are paid much lesser to that of the other organisation.Servants are like pan in a chess play only. they do not know to think to gain the eternal bliss. So, they are fascinated by the fancy materials others bring (like latest cell phones, latest vehicles,laptops etc.,) and they want to buy such materials while they do not have money to buy them. But the desire to buy them induce them to opt either to borrow to buy such materials or make them to gain bribes for regular routines. The unwanted criminals to gain their undue gains from the Government staff induce them and give them bribes.And due to that the  Government  mechanism lose its confidence among the citizen of its country. And in many occasssions the rides in the Government offices reveal the facts and such servants are arrested for receiving bribes. They are jailed also in some occassions.So Is money the prime factor to live happily? NO. No way it is .

Then which has the lead to live a happy life.? Money is a tool to buy materials. First we should visualise our dire needs. We should not buy,just because others have it. For example a doctor  requires a stethoscope to ecamine his patients. And the colour and the design is very attractive. And the way doctors use is tempting us. But is it necessary to buy it for an advocate to practice law. No need.

Same way I have seen many people owning a car as their neighbours are having one. But, they do not plan to gfo out at all and the car is kept on the shed without any use. The vehicle become useless after few months and he has to spend lot of money to mend it to its normalcy or he has to sell it for a small price. Why is this? So he should visualise what he needs absoultely and he should pocess only such materials. I have seen  many people having more than one house and letting them for rent. Besides their busy schedule in business they will have to plan to maintain such houses, pay its taxes and so on. So their precious time is taken by such extra houses. Now, he did cut his living in the house. He doesnt have time to talk to his wife also. The children are afraid of him because he is always busy or worried about the properties he had gained. Is this the life?

Have contentment. Be happy with what little you have to live comfortably. But, it does not mean that you should be lazy. Try all best ways to earn money. And spend such money on paying right taxes to your government,tours, Giving to the needy, and making your own kith kin to enjoy with that money.That is the real happiness.

So enjoy living.
