RE: Can You Be Rich And Spiritual?

in #spirituality7 years ago (edited)

"As covetousness is the root of all evil, so poverty is the worst of all snares."
Daniel Defoe

Sure it is possible to be rich and spiritual. The famous bible quote is not that "money is the root of all evil" It is the LOVE of money that is the problem.
As long as you do what fulfills you, what brings spiritual benefit to yourself and the world, money will eventually come to you on its own. Money and wealth are always the consequence and should never be the goal itself... otherwise it will become that evil root.

Yes, but that is the problem. So many people love money, above anything else. They are willing to accumulate hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars and to sit with that whilst other people are quite literally starving to death. That is just plain wrong!
