Mr Rajeev’s thoughts on Money and Health

He claimed that his journey enlightened him about the psychology of money and its spirituality. For this he quoted his father’s thoughts that money is a moving force of God and the physical manifestation of God is money. He said that someone who is humble and puts their money towards a good cause and for the benefit of society, the more they will get back, following the “law of nature”.  Attitude towards money is very important. Ours is the only culture apart from Greeks where there is manifestation of God as money. We spend a lot of time nurturing our relationships with human beings, but one should also nurture their relationship with money, there should never be a broken relation. This is however, quite common due to difficulties during one’s childhood.

He said “What good is wealth if one does not have good health to enjoy it” and “Money should outlast you and not the other way around”. Plan for the best and prepare for the worst. We should always be prepared to live for 100 years but also be ready to say bye to the world and leave a legacy behind.
