Money Manangement

Money Manangement.

I once asked the Mother what is the right attitude to money, should we store money, should we be misers or should we be spendthrifts. she told me something which has always stuck in my mind. It is a paradox.

She said you should be both.  You should welcome money, conserve it with attention to the last pie; it is an occult law that where money is treasured, where money is respected, there it flows. 

Money flows where it is welcomed, where it is cherished, where it worshipped. That is why money in the west has always flowed to the jewish community. 

And once it starts coming, it forms a habit of pouring there. So you conserve, you have to be a careful accountant when you get and keep the money. 

But she said, when you spend you have to be liberal, be generous; do not calculate when you spend. 

Choose a good cause, spend , but do not waste. 

Whether it is coins, currency notes or food or clothes, do not waste but spend wisely; Nature always rushes things where they are properly used.

So we have to educate ourselves on both the fronts, on acquiring money without greed as a force of god to be won, treasured, cherished and utilised.
