Summary

Many people with a spiritual inclination feel that there is something dirty about money. Like money in itself is bad. But is that always true? Today we explore the complex topic of money; its role in society and its impact on individuals' lives. Through verses and teachings from ancient yoga scriptures, we highlight the significance of serving a higher purpose and transcending material desires associated with money. As you’ll hear, money is just “green energy”. What we do with that energy determines whether it’ll be good or bad, just like we choose what to do with the energy of our body. So how do I keep sane in a world centred around money? How can I move forward in my quest for spiritual consciousness amidst material wealth? Tune in for another perspective; the perspective of the ancient Eastern teachings. Highlights: (5:47) Money is just “green energy” like they called it at the Rainbow Gatherings that Balakhilya attended many years ago (13:37) Material desires fuel an endless bucket list (27:58) Ruben considered donating some money to a spiritual cause, but upon deciding not to, all the money was removed through a fine he got (35:46) Greed leads to anger. Simple people find happiness with little material possessions; they live a simple life. (50:39) Money is a hassle; if you don’t have it you’re in anxiety trying to get it, and if you have it you’re in anxiety trying to protect it (1:03:31) Put money in your spiritual bank account; that’s the real asset. Your spiritual consciousness is your real wealth. Recorded on May 2, 2022. Watch video version, join our email list or contribute to the podcast here:
