Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 5
Greed makes man blind and foolish,
And makes him an easy prey for death
Jalal al-Din Rumi
There are some among us who choose to worship the great god ‘Money’. I have observed that when they have achieved wealth, far from bringing great joy, it brings more work and worry on how to retain it.
Everyone needs a comfortable and safe home, food and warm clothes for their personal well-being. Anything beyond that is a luxury. The time and energy it takes to achieve this ‘luxury’ can make you poor. Poor in time and energy to focus on your relationships, personal study and just enjoying the gift of life.
