Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Vices 1. Man is deluded by Money: With analogy Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-06-22 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description One only thinks of money now-a-days. How can money uplift man? Developing compassion or righteousness will elevate man, but on the other hand amassing money will only ruin man. Therefore, man must have money in a limited manner. Swami compares money to the shoe one wears: One can walk comfortably only when the shoe is of the right size; one cannot walk if the shoe is oversized or if it is tight fitting. Similarly man must have money as per his needs. Unlimited money harms the mind, it allures, makes the person intoxicated and ultimately destroys the person. This is not what man has to earn. Man must earn the wealth of good character for only the virtuous ones stand in good stead. One must realize this truth. 2.
