Wealth

[Points: What it is—usefulness—how to use it—not an unmixed blessing—conclusion.]

Wealth generally means anything that has some money value. The term is sometimes used to mean everything of use to us, as in the expression "Health is wealth", but, for our purpose we may confine it to the former sense.

Wealth is very useful to us. A person possessed of wealth is above want; so he can devote his time, energy and attention to the pursuit of knowledge and progress of civilisation. A poor,mar, on the contrary, is so worried about his physical needs that he finds little time or opportunity for the development of his mental faculties. This is why the poet sang

"Full many a gem of purest ray serene 
The dark, unfathom'd caves of oceans bear
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, 
And waste its sweetness in the desert air."

Wealth is also connected with some of the finest qualities of the human heart, such as charity, service, philanthropy. We find all around us schools, colleges, hospitals, temples, dharmashalas, etc. which were founded by rich men and are maintained by them. There are also endowments for, the pursuit of knowledge and relief of human sufferings. Love of wealth has also brought about the material pros perity of the world through trade and commerce.

The value of wealth, however, lies, not in its mere possession, but in the use we make of it. If we use wealth for our personal enjoyment only, that wealth is worse than useless. A wealthy man should always bear in mind that every favour has its responsibilities, and the favour that has been bestowed upon him by God makes it his duty to spend it for the good of mankind.

The possession of wealth, however, is not an unmixed blessing.. It may take away the urge for work, and thus prevent a man from developing his faculties. It may make him luxurious, ease-loving and idle, and hence, worthless. It attracts flatterers, and tempts him to a life of vice. In the hands of wicked men, wealth becomes a weapon of oppression and brings on great suffering. It sometimes becomes such a passion with many that they can give no thought to the finer and nobler values of life.

So to derive the greatest benefit from wealth, we should first learn its proper use. Otherwise, there is every chance of our falling into evil ways, and bringing misery, not only to ourselves, but also to others.
