Money And Spirituality by nugavilleshine: 8:18am On Sep 09, 2016
Money causes most people more emotional problems than almost any other life issue. How many times have you heard that "Money doesn't grow on trees", that "Money is the root of all Evil" or that anyone who is rich must, by definition, be either a crook or extremely hard and tough? Most people have extremely negative associations about Wealth and Money that were gained subconsciously whilst growing up.

The world's spiritual traditions seem to be in agreement: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon" (Matthew 6:24).

Other world religions say much the same. Buddhism certainly sees earthly wealth as a source of desire and attachment, both of which are viewed as detrimental to spiritual growth.

Yet most personal development teachers today tell you that you can "have it all" and extol the virtues of becoming wealthy. Moreover, it seems to be a very modern version of spirituality that says you can be rich AND highly spiritual. So who is right?

Within a strictly limited sense, both are correct. However, the balance is extremely hard to maintain correctly.
