Money is a good servant but a bad master
shibli:
How much money do we need to lead a decent life? Isn't it a relative matter? We have to be content and satisfied with whatever we have. Money and power create jealousy and jealousy brings destruction. (To be continued)
shibli:
Money is the second God-goes the saying. In a sense, that might be true. The wheel of the whole universe of activities centers around one point -money. Money buys wealth, happiness, even love sometimes. Humankind all over the world kneels down to it. Truly speaking, there is hardly any job on earth that money cannot accomplish.
True, money is very powerful. But what is the nature of its power? Being a part and parcel of our daily life, does it deserve the honor we give it?
shibli:
As a matter of fact, money is a good servant but a bad master. It serves you best with anything, in any way. But if you worship it, it conquers you wholly. Then you cease to be yourself. Not only that, you cannot be a good servant as well.

Money is nothing but part of everything
shibli:
In this regard, one thing we must remember: we earn money to live, and we do not live to earn money. Those who earn money to live----- earn it and spend it and enjoy their lives. They change money into happiness, prosperity, development, and well being; but money cannot change them. They can enjoy the gifts of life.
But, on the other hand, those who live to earn money------ live like salves to it. It is those people who are the root of all evils-chaos, destinations, murder, robbery, bribery and so on. Not only they cannot control themselves, but they are controlled by money. We must run after money but must not run toward hell.
