The Problem of Money
...the problem of money dogs our steps throughout the whole of our lives, exerting a pressure that, in its way, is as powerful and insistent as any other problem of human existence. And it haunts the spiritual path as well.
...What is the role of money in the search for consciousness, in the pursuit of that transformation of the self spoken of by the great teachers and philosophers of all epochs and cultures?...
...In the world we now live in, money enters into everything human beings do, into every aspect and pocket of life. This is something new.
I do not mean to say that our culture is necessarily more materialistic than those that have prceded it. I am saying only that money, now plays an unprecedentedly powerful role in our inner and outer lives, and that any serious search for self-knowledge and self-development requires that we study the meaning that money actually has for us.
