Is Running After Money GOOD or BAD | Virender Sehwag Asks Sadhguru
I have seen many billionaire beggars still with the same mentality. Where is the next buck? It is not a goal by itself. It's only a process. So money in the pocket is very good. Money in your head. That's a perversion which will destroy you. Hi Sadhguru this is Virendra Sehwag And I want to ask a question. Why do people in life are running after money? Sehwag Why is somebody running after money? No. A whole lot of people around you are running after the ball aren't they it's wrong to assume that everybody is running after money. It is just that we have made money The currency are a common instead being an barter system if you're an barter system. If I gave you a ball, you will give me a bat, then we would be doing that. But now you can buy a ball and a bat with money. You can buy a home and a car. With money, you can buy food and comfort with money. So money has become a common transaction tool, and people need that to live now how they want to live. They don't want to live well. They want to live better than their neighbor. Because of that, money becomes important. If they just want to live Money would be a small part of their life. But now they want to live better than their neighbor, bigger than their neighbor. So run behind the money becomes an endless run. Otherwise, in a short period of time, what you need for your lifetime you can create in terms of money and then do what is significant for your life rather than running after a tool which was just created to simplify transactions. instead of simplifying transactions. It is complicated human life because a whole lot of people are beginning to think that money is a goal by itself. Money is not a goal. I want you to remember it is only a process it's an enabling process. If you want to buy food, you need money. If you want to buy comfort, you need money. But now you are trying to buy a life with money. You will not succeed for sure. It doesn't matter whether you have ₹10 today or 10 million tomorrow or 10 billion tomorrow. I have seen many billionaire beggars still with the same mentality. Where is the next buck? Money is only a tool of transaction. It is not a goal by itself. It's only a process. what's unhealthy about money? Money is just a means, isn't it? Man is not obsessed with money. Man is obsessed with what money can buy. It is the empowerment that the money brings which people want is not the money that they want excess and the freedom that it gives you in the physical world which people want. There is something wrong with money what's wrong? We created it, isn't Otherwise We could have still continue our transaction in barter system because our transactions got complicated. Barter became too tricky. We created a currency. Currency became too tricky. So we created a card. Nothing right or wrong about it if money is in your pocket. It makes your life easy and comfortable because you have some money in your pocket. You're sitting here today thinking of inner development and things. If you were in the slum with no money in your pocket today, you wouldn't be sitting here doing Shambhavi Maha-mudra You would be just struggling to keep that house going. There's no money at all in your pocket. This wouldn't be possible. So nothing wrong with money. Money in your pocket is good if it stays in the pocket is it enters your head, it becomes a perversion For most people, it's entered their head and it's become a perversion Keep the money in your pocket. Next life is in good. If you have enough money that you don't have to work for your living tomorrow, you can just take off one month and just meditate isn't it? Which the man was struggling for money to do for tomorrow's food cannot do even if he wishes to do so. Money in the pocket is very good. Money in your head. That's a perversion which will destroy you.
