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

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