THE PURSUIT OF WEALTH
It is perfectly fine
to chase wealth
to build a life of gold
and a career that sparkles in the sun.
But it is not fine to forget
what it means to be just
to lose the path of virtue
for Dharma is the soul’s compass
and without it, even grace demands a cost
Know this:
the riches & the fame
the applause & the beauty
they are only tools, not truth.
True living begins
not with what you hold
but with how you walk
in righteousness
in virtue
in peace with the self.
