MONEY & DESIRE
Aptasutras about Money and Desire ~ Param Pujya Dadashri
The Enlightened one (Gnani Purush) never wastes his time in counting money; focus of the awareness of
the self (upayog) is wasted in doing this. One‘s focused awareness (upayog) is where he has ‘interest’!
(Aptasutra # 872)
People live for two reasons. There are those who live for the Soul; such people are very rare. All others live
for money. All day is spent for money, money, money!
(Aptasutra # 873)
When can one attain samadhi (eternal blissful continuous peace)? It comes when one lets go of the things
that he loves the most.
(Aptasutra # 874)
Money is ‘limited’ and people’s demands are ‘unlimited’.
(Aptasutra # 875)
Is it not necessary to eat? Is it not necessary to go to the toilet? They are necessary. In the same way, money
is also required. Just as one does not have to think about going to the toilet & it happens automatically, in
the same way, money comes without you having to think about it.
(Aptasutra # 876)
Do you have to regret spending money when you earn money? And when it is time to spend, you should be
strong that you got the opportunity to pay off your debt. Income is one’s responsibility and expense is the
means to clear off the responsibility.
(Aptasutra # 877)
If money is spent in the wrong way, then ‘control’ the spending and if the money is spent in the right way,
then ‘decontrol’ the spending.
(Aptasutra # 879)
How long does one have obstacles (antray) in getting Money? As long as he has the desire to earn money, he
will have difficulty (antray). The moment there is disinterest towards money, it will come in abundance.
(Aptasutra # 880)

Aptasutras
MONEY & DESIRE
S.2
Desires are done by the ‘Pudgal’ (non-self mind-body-complex), so how can they be suppressed? If You
(the Self) are the one doing the desiring, then why don’t you stop it? But that doesn’t happen therefore,
desire is a matter pertaining to the Pudgal (non-self mind-body-complex).
(Aptasutra # 883)
Desires occur because pratyakhyan [resolutions to not repeat the mistake] were not done. It comes in the
memory because pratikraman [repentances] were not done.
(Aptasutra # 884)
Where there is even the subtlest desire, the ‘Eternal Thing’ cannot be attained.
(Aptasutra # 885)
Without ‘Gnan’ (True Knowledge of the Self), desire(s) will not go away.
(Aptasutra # 886)
Obstacles (antray) are indeed due to desires. As desires keep on decreasing, so do the obstructions (antray)
keep on getting destroyed. Then, everything is acquired (at that stage).
(Aptasutra # 887)
Why is it that ‘we’ (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) do not have any obstruction (antray)? It is
because ‘we’ are in a desire-free state (Nirichchhak dasha).
(Aptasutra # 888)
‘We’ (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) have only one desire, and that too is a discharging desire of
doing ‘Jagat kalian’ (world’s salvation).
(Aptasutra # 889)
Man is indeed the Absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma); it is possible for infinite divinity to arise within.
The moment he has a desire, he becomes a human! Otherwise, he can acquire whatever he wants, but he is
unable to do so because of impediments (antray).
(Aptasutra # 890)
How far is the Soul from attaining Moksha (ultimatie liberation)?Only the obstructive (antray) karma.
(Aptasutra # 891)
‘We’ are the self (chetan, soul) and obstruction (antray) are non-self (achetan, non-soul); therefore, the Self
(chetan, soul) shall win in the end!
(Aptasutra # 893)
