29."WEALTH IS CALAMITOUS"( ARTHAM-ANARTHAM)

-

Mantram-29.



1. Strange: Wealth estranges us all. When you have not any, you will pant to get some! When you get some, you grow jealous of others who have more, and feel conceited among those who have less!



2. Grabbing-game: When you become little successful, your jealousy and conceit  are not  thereby  going to recede proportionately, but, strange, in the arithmetics of the money-mad world  your jealousy becomes powerful, and your conceit limitless.


3. Wealth is not welfare : Even one's son becomes a source of fear for the unholy man's riches.


4. When you possess money, wealth is blessing. Allow money to possess you: wealth is a curse and it will not give you any comfort.


5. This is the Truth of the  wealth. This is the way of the wealth.
