Vedas are different from agamas. Unlike abrahamic religions indulgence is not a sin in our dharma, obsession is what one should abstain from. We have books like kamasutra, the culinary expertise of nala, or numerous gods for wealth. The basic thing for us is not allowing an external factor control our happiness.

India win a match, the happiness that we feel is inside us, it is not outside. We feel the happiness inside. The stimulus for that happiness is outside, but the happiness is within. The whole concept of Yoga is to exist in a state of bliss without any external stimuli. Once we can be happy without an external stimulus, then being happy or not is just a matter of choice and misery cannot be inflicted upon us. It is not a philosophy but an experience. This is what Adiyogi taught his disciples. However, you having the habit of meditating should find yoga (I am not talking about yoga asanas) the right path.

How to overcome the affection of lust and gold and find the true nature of ours….well atleast that’s what I read so far….but my only problem is even after reading so much material, my mind still not comprehending that it is true…..one part of my heart says leave all this nonsense, just go and meditate all the time….never wake up from that state…… however i know for sure that it is a difficult task to control mind and make it still……..

while the flow that you have said is quite right, but the point of going after money is not entirely for that reason. Money is not the only source of attaining power. The purpose of money is not only to attain power.

There are subtler things to this actually, “Mans look out for reaching the infinity”. If there is one thing that differentiate man from animals, then it is this fact for animals their life ends once they have food sleep and reproduction but for man the life starts only after those things are satisfied. Once his life starts he don’t actually know what exactly he needs..or how much he needs..Money is the easiest thing to attain and it is the most convertible and convenient of resources, so he goes after it, after attaining some he don’t know when to stop. People also go after women, power (very poor politicians like kamaraj and co), physical strength and so on..

“Better than other people, why is that?
So that people will respect and listen to me.”

This quote of yours is quite true and this is the very basis of the existence of most people. It is not the money I have that matters to me, but my relative position among the people of my society. People would Opt to be a millionaire in a society full of poor than a Billionaire in a society full of Trillionaires.

Money, why do I need it?
To earn a living.

Living?
Yes, a decent way to live life.

How decent?
Better than other people in the neighborhood.

Better than other people, why is that?
So that people will respect and listen to me.

Listen to me, why?
Because I want to be powerful.

Powerful?
To be able to pass decree and feel free and happy.

Feel free and happy?
Yes, when nobody questions and agrees with me I will be the righteous and happiest.

What if nobody agrees with me?
Don’t worry, I have enough money and I can corrupt them.

Corrupt them?
Make them think money is the life and they become obsessed with greed.

Obsessed, then what?
They will start fighting with each other.

Fighting with each other?
Yes, then I can intervene with the power of money and rule them.

Rule them?
Yes, this is the motive of money. Power and only Power.
