Money…The Root of All Evil?
People typically say that money is the root of all evil. However, the original phrase is “For the
love of money is the root of all evil.”- Timothy, 6:10, from the New Testament. This speaks of
the love of money as being the problem not money itself. Money is a tool that we use to
purchase living necessities and other items to enrich our lives. It is simply paper or metal,
an inanimate piece of matter. If it becomes a thing of evil, look not to it, but to the hand that
holds it.
I know some spiritual seekers believe they are breaking some divine law if they pray or
meditate for more money or seek luxury items. And many have to contend with guilt feelings
should the desire for more arise. They think they were placed here to sacrifice and do
without. Surely, a Spartan existence will elevate them to some purer level where they can be
closer to God. Would not Spirit delight in how holy and enlightened they are by this worldly
denial? No.
You were created with Love by Love and are Love. You are adored by Spirit. Why would God
delight in your denying yourself? Yours was meant to be a life filled with abundance, as that
is what God is. God is limitless and so are you! All is given to you that does no harm to you
or others.
If you choose to live an austere lifestyle in honor of Spirit, that’s wonderful. Many seekers do
this with a true joy and without feeling deprived. They have no need for worldly things on their
journey and this is their delight. But they are also wise enough to know that whether they live
in a hovel or in a castle they are no better or lesser in the eyes of God. Spirit wishes only to
witness our happiness.
Some seekers possess a knowing. They rely on God to take excellent care of them and He
does. Their prayers and meditations consist of gratitude. They never ask for anything
because they know all that they require will be provided. Do they deny themselves material
possessions or see money as an evil thing? No, they find money quite useful but
accumulating piles of it doesn’t occupy their minds. Their passions lie elsewhere.
If you require more money, a better paying job or a BMW, go for it. Pray or meditate on what
you desire, but be sure to detach yourself from the outcome. In other words, ask and then
accept that it is done. It will manifest when you are ready to receive it. I must add that God’s
timing is not the same as yours, however, it is perfect. Be patient.
Denying yourself material things does not bring you closer to Spirit but being joyful does.
This is a path to peace.
