Karma brings us ever back to rebirth, binds us to the wheel of births and deaths. Good karma drags us back as relentlessly as bad, and the chain which is wrought out of our virtues holds as firmly and as closely as that forged from our vices.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.
