Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 How some people give all their energies, time, brain, body, and everything, to become rich! They have no time for breakfast! Early in the morning they are out and at work! They die in the attempt- ninety percent of them- and the rest when they make money, cannot enjoy it. That is grand! I do not say it is bad to try to be rich. It is marvelous, wonderful. Why, what does it show? It shows that one can have the same amount of energy and struggle for freedom as one has for money. We know we have to give up money and all other things when we die, and yet, see the amount of energy we can put forth for them. But we, the same human beings, should we not put forth a thousand fold more strength and energy to acquire that which never fades, but which remains to us forever? For this is the one great friend, our own good deeds- our own spiritual excellence that follows us behind here with the body.
