"Money is a fact of your life; you cannot escape it. You will have to contend with it at least to some degree, even if you assume a very ascetic existence. It is a practical necessity in your life. It presents its own problems, many of which you can avoid and some of which are unavoidable. Money is a resource to which people give great meaning and significance. Money, then, is not the problem. It is the use of money. Here you must look at your motives, your nature and your preparation. Your motives with money will determine how you perceive it, what qualities you attribute to it, how you arrange it in the priorities of your life and what you attempt to do with it. Your nature will determine your predispositions and will color to a very great degree how you perceive money and what role you feel it will play and should play in your life. Your preparation is very important because this will determine how mature you are in your dealing with this resource and how and for what purpose you attempt to use it. Therefore, there is your motive, there is your nature and there is your preparation. The more prepared you are and the further advanced you are in The Way of Knowledge, the more you will use money as a resource and not attempt to use it to build your survival or well-being, your position in society or any advantages you are seeking to claim over others."

“What is money and why are most people deeply uncomfortable about it in one way or another?” “It is a touchy question because money is not what it appears to be. Money is more deep-rooted. Money is not just there outside in currency notes, it is something to do with your inner, your mind and attitudes. Money is your love of things; money is your escape from people; money is your security against death; money is your effort to control life; money is a thousand and one things. Money is not just concerned with currency notes; otherwise, things would have been very easy. Money Is Your Love - Love of Things, Not of People. “The most comfortable love is of things, and because things are dead, you can possess them easily. You can possess a big house, a palace - you can possess the greatest palace easily - but you cannot possess even the smallest baby. Even babies reject, even babies fight for their freedom. A small baby, however small, is dangerous for the man who wants to possess him. He will become rebellious and he will rebel, but he will not allow anybody to possess him. People who cannot love other people, start loving money because money is a means to possess things. “The more money you have, the more things you can possess; the more things you can possess, the more you can forget about people. You will have many things, but you will not have any contentment because deep contentment comes only when you love a person. The money will not revolt, but it will not respond either, that’s the trouble. “That’s why miserly people become very ugly (nobody has ever responded to their love. How can you be beautiful without love falling on you, without love showering on you like flowers - how can you be beautiful? You become ugly. You become closed. A man who possesses money, or tries to possess money, is miserly and will always be afraid of people because if they are allowed to come close to him, they may start sharing. If you allow someone to come close you, you also have to allow some sharing. People who love things become like things - dead, closed. Nothing vibrates in them, nothing dances and sings in them; their hearts have lost the beat. “They live a mechanical life. They drag, burdened, burdened with many things. They don’t have any freedom because only love can give you freedom, and love can give you freedom only if you give freedom to love. Money is good - money can be used “People who are afraid of love become possessive about money. People who love become non-possessive, money doesn’t matter so much. If it is there, it is okay, it can be used. If it is not there, that too is okay because love is such a kingdom that no money can purchase it. Love is such a deep fulfillment, you can be a beggar on the street and you can sing if you have love in your heart. If you have loved and you have been loved, love crowns you, make a king of you. Money simply makes you ugly. I am not against money. I am not saying to go and throw it away because that is another extreme. It is also the last step of the miserly mind. A man who has suffered too much because of money, who has clung to money and has not loved anybody or become open, in the end, becomes so frustrated that he throws away the money, renounces and goes to the Himalayas, enters a Tibetan monastery and becomes a lama. This man has not understood. If you understand, money can be used. People who don’t understand are either misers - they don’t use the money - or they renounce the money because in renouncing it they are also saving the same mind. Now there will be no difficulty in using it; you renounce it all and escape. But they cannot use the money, they are afraid of using it.”

Well said Rupert...Money is energy too. There is nothing less spiritual about it...only what ones does with it and how they use it. Money by itself has no real power. Its our ideas around it that lends it power...ofcourse talking abt it in the 'how much to earn n how to spend' context. When we understand 'living in abundance' and live that way at our thought n action lvl...then money is never an issue. What you need will come to you the moment you want but... one must think, feel n act like a millionaire who never for a moment doubts if they can afford an object worth a dime....even the thought must not arise. Similarly, shunning it and never wanting to do anything with it is a fear based mentality of not fammiling in the money trap.. n generally keeps one poor n bioused.

There exist no “spiritual persons”. Only awareness is. Abiding in pure consciousness has nothing to do with making or not making money. Furthermore, there are no persons. The Self always is and yet people get wrapped up in spiritual jargon and the promise of a future enlightenment. That’s still mind games.. Self is found in silence anytime. Thoughts and mind chattering including any sort of questions to teachers come and go. What remains? There are no spiritual teachers either in fact.
@Mat-cm6he2 жыл бұрын
Transmission of knowledge is possible only in silence. All these questions keep perpetrating the I-thought. Thoughts can fluctuate in awareness, that’s not an issue per se but the problem is pretending an answer from a teacher or believing that you’re the thinker. Stop asking questions and be still. Who believes? Who’s this I who’s posing a question? It’s a thought. Wake up. There’s no I. Once you see your Self clearly, you’re done. Do whatever you please in life it doesn’t really matter. Certainly you’ll be at peace because the idea “I am the body” will be gone.

In other words a truly social system. Not a system where the philanthropists do their hand-outs. At the same time you can “enjoy” your spirituality diving into the ocean of awareness. When you come up you still have to go to the supermarket to buy stuff for supper. For me spirituality is every day life and that includes money. Having said that I must add that I don't seem to need a 10 million yacht to dive into mentioned ocean 😊.

The selfish desire to earn and hoard wealth at the expense of all others (and maybe use that wealth for control/manipulation against people's own best interests) may be what you are thinking of instead.

Reality is, money is a tool that's it, simple as that. Money should never be a goal but a tool to navigate this modern age. You have to be realistic and honest with yourself, it's much easier to do what you want when you have money vs being poor and struggling to survive. Also money does not equate happiness but it certainly does help, ask someone in a low income living check to check if they are happy. We give money a meaning, good or bad, if you see it as evil or as some sort of limitation for spiritual advancement then that's what you'll get.

There is the practical individual question of money as a necessity, and there is the question of money in itself and its net effect on the world. It is not correct to say that money is an inert substance that merely reflects the choices of the "free" agent that uses it, just as smart phones are not merely "tools" to streamline our daily lives. Money has a normative effect on the individual and society. If one looks at any problem, any source of conflict in the world and asks "why?" enough times, the answer will always come down to money. One reason this could be is that we have designed money as interest bearing debt. Unlike these enlightened masters living continually in the "moment", money is always in the future and forces us to do the same. Money is an IOU, a promise to pay in the future. This allows and incentivizes a cycle of endless growth and speculation because there is always less money in circulation than there needs to be. This imbalance is necessary to drive the economy "forward" and necessarily results in the commodification of more and more of the world, from raw material into "goods and services" ad nauseum, ad infinitum. It is a mistake to characterize this as a "choice" per se , since most people simply have to adapt to the conditions they find themselves and "provide for their families". The indigenous people in the Amazon who lived for millennia without money suddenly find themselves in a "world economy" which cannot see the rainforest as anything other than "raw material", "potential farm land" , "potential this, or potential that. So they are forced to either fall in line or face extermination. To me this is the antithesis of everything that Rupert seems to be advocating which is to "live and let live".

I follow you up to a point. I think that even when there is no money there is time. If your community trusts you with what you love to do in service of your community, it means you can't do other stuff. As Rupert said it's like doing the necessary shopping for tonight's diner. The problem with our implementation of money now is that the decision who to hand it out is not based on this love and service but on the calculation how much profit it will bring again in terms of money. So there is never a point where money serves something else than itself. And yet it is possible even today to use money as it should be used, for love and service. In fact this kind of use would contribute to its transformation into a more sane system. And so I agree with Rupert that not money is the problem, even with today's design, but the use of it. Correct use will lead to redesign...

The entire purpose of money is to depersonalize human transactions, to outsource trust and solidarity in the name of efficiency. This creates a society increasingly hostile to human flourishing. We can say that money can be used to reverse this cycle of alienation by "reallocating" the resources to more "life giving" causes, but this ignores the essential properties of money which by nature flow counter to this intention.

And I don't think this even needs to be done explicitly. In that sense it's like allowing painful emotions.

Pieces of paper that can be devalued over night by the central banks and governments. We own nothing. And we have forgotten how to live at all.

So many self realized brings say that effort is needed at the beginning and then God meets some people half way and graces then with awakening. Gurus can awaken people by their very touch and presence. With Tota Puri the non-dual guru of Ramakrishna, he had an experience where he realizes that Maya, Shakti, divine mother was truly in charge and nothing can happen outside of divine will. What is that which allows people to come to God or keeps them blinded by Maya? I understand that what that is is one with us, it is us, and it's beyond human language and the limited understanding of the finite mind but still there's seems to be an intelligence there directing the lila. Saints like Neem Karoli Baba, Amma, Anandamayi Ma speak as if there's an intelligence as well guiding the play. Even Nisgardatta Maharaj seemed to give great value to his guru as the reason he came to realize the self. Why do that when you have realized the sameness between you and the guru unless their was an understanding of grace? What is grace? When I look it up, this is the definition of Gurus grace-. The Yogic path of guru's grace is known as gurukrupayoga, and it is thought to be the most rapid form of spiritual progress. Devotees can only advance on this path if the guru wills them to do so, and this willingness is also known as the guru's grace. The guru can offer this grace through eye contact, a sacred word, thought or touch of the third eye, but only if the devotee is thought to be karmically ready. This even refers to the will of the guru which is obviously divine will but still it implies an intentionality of God. What is that?

A question Rupert: Ramana Maharshi says in verse 3 of Upadesa Undiyar that "Niskamya Karma" (Totally selfless action of a fruit or benefit) which is one of the most powerful ways for the purification of the mind, i.e., for example transmitting spiritual teachings without expecting a reward of money in return but doing it solely for the love of sharing or spreading them. In this sense, I can put love in what I do by transmitting a teaching but if I did not expect any reward why would I ask for the payment of money in return? Wouldn't it be more coherent to get the money from other work instead of doing it in exchange for transmitting a teaching that should be for everyone without economic conditions?

We only know that the world will be fine one day, and only poverty and starvation will end one day. We can say that once all the politicians die and also the death of the currency, everything is available in nature in fact but they are just trying to prevent Those blessings are from us, and we as human beings must do anything to get food and drink, no matter how bad this thing is...

Overwhelming majority of all spiritual seekers are usually well off without having to have basic existential materialist needs met anyway. Do you really believe an average 9-5 worker can afford to go on retreats and whatnot whenever their heart desires since most of them don’t have anything better to do in their lives 😂

money's just a symbol for energy that man created. Energy can't be good or bad; it depends on how it's used. People who chase prestige and admiration scare me a lot more than people who chase money. Donating to charity is an egotistical action; donating *anonymously* is outright narcissism
