Science of Money
this way and mean what they say from within, it is very dangerous. They will wander for many lives to come without any money. Laxmi is vitaraag (without attachment). Money is inanimate. For that matter you should never shun anything either; whether it is animate or inanimate, because by doing so you will not encounter it again. I may say that I am aparigrahi (one who is not attached to material things), but I will never say that I will never touch money. Money is the center of all worldly interactions. All these deities have been organized to support the rules and principles of scientific circumstantial evidences, called vyavasthit. So you should never reject anything. (64)

It is not money but ignorance that needs to be renounced. Many people have contempt towards money. Whatever you have contempt towards, will never come your way. Disinterest or indifference for money in the absence of real (spiritual) interest is the worst kind of madness. (65)
I maintain indifference in matters of worldly life and absolute interest in matters of the Soul. There has to be both. Indifference for the worldly matters and interest for the Soul is needed for liberation. So gladly welcome each and every circumstance that comes your way. Do your work according to the times, whether that time brings gains or losses, benefits or destruction. The deluded intellect will never allow inquiry into the Absolute Truth. God says there is no objection if one were to live by the 'theory of relativity', but one should also live life free from contradictions. Follow the laws of Laxmi. Do not take money that comes by illicit means. Your efforts for money should be natural and spontaneous. Tend to your profession but do not keep a desire for money. Laxmiji says that if you have borrowed money from someone, everyday you should resolve in your mind that you want to pay it back. Then you will definitely be able to pay him back. (66)
Science of Money
Let me explain to you the nature of black market money. When there is flooding due to a heavy rainfall and the water enters your home through your front yard, you feel glad that the water is coming to you without any effort, but when that water drains away, it will leave behind a sludge of mud. You will have a hard time getting rid of that mud. Black money is like the water of the flood. It will sting you all over before it leaves. This is why I have to caution all the wealthy businessmen.

Money will not leave as long as you do not indulge in deceptive business tactics. Deceptive business practice is the cause of money leaving your home.
The current time is such that people are preoccupied with how they can acquire and enjoy more wealth and in wanting this they do not care whether the money rightfully belong to them or not. They are blinded by their greed. They can only look for other things if they become free from their preoccupation with cheating others, making a profit by selling adulterated goods and enjoying adulterous relationships. Happiness does not lie in such practices. Happiness is to be found when you make your spiritual path as your main production. All worldly gains are a by-product of such a production. You have acquired this body because of something you did in your previous life. You have acquired material wealth, a wife, a bungalow etc. All this is a by-production. If all these things were attainable through only hard work, then all the laborers would also have the same, but it is not so. People today have misunderstood this and that is why they have started factories of 'by-production". Effort made in the path of liberation is considered the 'main production'. You should acquire liberation from the 'Gnani Purush', after which the worldly 'by-production' will automatically come to you, free of cost. You have wasted so many lives for this 'by-production'. Just once come and get your
