Money with Peace

You must be thinking when everyone behind money why I am talking about this crazy things, we are in a society where money got the first place and I am talking of Money with Peace, looks funny for some but the fact remain if we can achieve that than you can say you did the job, but how? that is the million dollar question.

Few days back I had a conversation with someone very good friend of mine and I have realized due to the society and peer pressure we are force to live a life otherwise given a chance would not like to have, our needs are not much but due to peer group behaviour and other constraint we think to earn the maximum money and buying the material thing is the only goal of our life and then we fall in a trap and black hole of life till the date we realize we have everything but now the time is over and we can't enjoy due to health issues, ages issues and you are not more than an ATM where your children withdrawing money and enjoying and in some cases you feel frustrated as you did such a hard work to earn that and they don't understand the value of that.

Most important thing is success and satisfaction looks similar but not the same thing, if you go in deep you realize that we need satisfaction over success, as you may be successful but not satisfied in that case is it that success is worth for you, I am not saying being a successful person is a bad thing but important is to be satisfied with that if you are not satisfied than what is the purpose of that success to prove my point I would like to give you a very good real life example of a person studied in IIT Delhi ( student dream to be a part of this institution), he was brilliant and after passing from there he went to USA and later become a CEO of a very big MNC at the age of 34, and suddenly one fine day people find he was disappeared, later after 3 years people comes to know that he went to Himalayas and took sanyaas and become a yogi, the point is you have caliber you can achieve something you have money but what is the point if you are not satisfied. To prove my point I would like to tell you a story of a person who worked hard till the age of 45 and retire himself and went to a village and settle down opened a school for the children and still running to his satisfaction. When people asked him why he did that he explained that I earned a lot but I was not satisfied not peaceful from inside, I have enough for my basic requirements and now when I teach these children I get a complete satisfaction I feel I am living my life for a purpose what else I need now,

The point is money plays a very important part in today's life, no doubts but the same time I feel to have a satisfied life with peace is also very important, also if we are not satisfied than what is the purpose of earning that money. As per Vedas  food, house and clothes more than this is all are luxury they can bring you the feeling of possessions and happiness but they can't guarantee you satisfaction and in turn peace. Very basic question for example I have a big villa, expensive car and all kind of luxuries but if I can't enjoy that I don't have time to have quality time with my family, no good food due to work pressure, no health than do you think that money really worth of that. It means we need money but at the same time we need a quality life also which is full of peace and satisfaction. Think about the time you spend with your loved ones, your children, your parents, the food you enjoy together with your family the feeling itself brings you a smile on your face so you can understand the point.


I would like to conclude in this way, no doubt we have to live a quality life for that we need money but at the same time we should not become a slave of that money and forget to enjoy the most prestigious gift of GOD called life, money can buy things but can't buy peace and if you are not peaceful not satisfied with your life than what is point of earning that money, be different try to find a solution and have a balance life, it is possible only when you try to connect yourself with the Almighty or GOD, as prayer is so powerful it gives you inner strength, inner wisdom so you can take the right decision and can follow a good life instead of be a part of rat race where only race is there and no goals. Life is yours choose wisely.
