THE WAY OF LIFE
inauspicious situations arise in which they have to spend money and they should save some money for such necessities.
The problem can be solved if you discard the habit of spending money unnecessarily and wastefully. You can stop wasteful expenditure only if you have the necessary strength of mind. Let people call you a miser; let them say that you are a man of the fifteenth century; you should remain unshaken by their remarks. When you spend money freely and abundantly at a time of necessity those people will be shocked and amazed. Carry on your existence with a full awareness of the propriety of time.
This is enough for to-day.
