You will wonder how one can become rich without money. But it is true that there are many people who
have no money in their pockets or who don’t have even the pockets are so rich that no one can parallel
them in richness. A person is truly rich who possesses sound health, kind heart and pure mind. Healthy
body is far more precious than silver, kind heart is more valuable than gold and pure mind is much more
treasurable than gems.
Seers Dadhichi, Vashishtha, Vedvyas, Balmiki, Tulsidas, Ramdas, Kabir, etc were rich without money. They were aware that the food needed for nourishment need not be taken through mouth alone, nor all the things needed for joyful living be purchased through money. God has written invaluable mysteries on each page of the book of life. If we so desire, we can identify them and make ourselves enlightened. A person with a magnanimous heart and pure soul will create the warmth of gems even in a small hut. If you are humble, affectionate, pure and righteous, then believe me that you are the master of infinite wealth.
A rich friend of Franklin once asked him – ‘Where should I keep my wealth?’ Franklin replied – ‘Pour your bags of money on your head (that is, utilize this money in augmenting wisdom); then no one will be able to steal it’. Lord Cuthbert Collingwood has rightly said – ‘Wisdom will never go out of fashion. …. (However), wisdom does not come by instinct, but will be found when diligently sought for; seek her, she will be a friend that will never fail you’.
