Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 18-09-2008
I would like to answer a question .Based on what I have said someone asked, “Is it wrong to accumulate wealth?” The reply is evident in the question itself. I would say the very word ‘accumulation’ refers to something in excess of our requirements. In this Kaliyugam I understand that material possessions are a necessity. Still I would say “Keep only what u need”. If you have more your good sense is mislead to think wrongly. If you are earning in excess, use it for good work. I have never said do not work or do not save money. Keep for yourself what you need and use the rest for useful activities. This is the advice I seek to give.
Nowadays responsibilities are on the increase, and family expenses have risen. People have to travel distances to their place of work and for this they need vehicles. You need a place in which to live. After spending on all these you need to save for children. Anything you save beyond this or accumulation of jewelry only makes you constantly afraid of theft etc. Keep only what is necessary. There are so many good things on which you can spend. Often old people and children have to suffer due to lack of funds. Give it to them. Give for annadhanam this will bring benefits. It is even better if you make arrangements to give food permanently for one individual. It is very good to spend on the education of one person apart from our own children. Let us have them fed well. If you develop this practice God will certainly bless and keep you close to Him.
