MONEY OVER GOD OR GOD OVER MONEY?
– Guru Nanak Dev ji

Lots of people have spent their whole life chasing money but nobody really benefited from it because when we die we have to leave all the money behind. People who are greedy get punished after death (their soul) because even though we leave money behind the sins and evil acts, that we committed to collect that money, go with us. Greedy people also fear death a lot.

People who spend their life doing good are able to eliminate ego and attachment to money. Lots of people forget God and focus on money and attract problems in their life. Big homes and mansions stay behind, kingdoms and forts stay behind but the truth is that this life and world is only a game created by God.

Life without Naam (God’s name, Worship to God) is useless. But it’s not in our control, we are all ignorant, only God knows everything and when he blesses us with this divine knowledge that we understand (and focus on what’s right – God).
