Many people want to make large amounts of money because they want to be happy, have free time, take care of the children etc. First of all money is raw shakthi. Also money means raw energy. When energy comes in raw form one needs to handle it carefully.

First of all money comes with a purpose . Many people do not see the purpose. For example one man took money from me and gave it to his brother. The money was suppose to be used by the brother. There is a obvious purpose and hidden purpose for money. The hidden purpose was revealed later.

Secondly money is very cathartic like alcohol . What is inside will come out. Many people suddenly become confident and have don’t care attitude because they have money.

Money can give free time but one needs tremendous understanding and grace of god to use it rightly. Many people when they have free time sleep eat a lot, see TV without even realization it as gift. One can gain money with time but one cannot gain time with money. Free time means that is time for prayer. Free time means can be used for learning arts.

Money leads to sensual pleasure which lead to excess and problem. For example people who have lot of money drink, smoke and run behind women in the hope of gaining peace and happiness. There is moral break down and soul devolution. The reason is money has given them freedom without understanding. Money can bring happiness to other people; make many people’s life meaningful if we are careful about how we spend the money. Using money is art and it does not come with age or experience.

Money can bring in pain and highlight limitation- men by nature are made to be important in family decisions because they make money. Sooner or later they realize with their teenage daughters and opposing wife that they are not truly in charge. There is tsunami of conflicts and pain. The reason is money gives erroneous belief that people will like us all the time, listen to us all the time, we can interfere in other people’s choices and idea, can say any thing and get away. Truly money should make us careful as how we make choices for others, check on humility and how we communicate with other people. Many a times in family situation being kind, helpful, positive and being approachable solves many problems.

Money will solve some problems but can not solve all problems in life- master card famous ad that money can buy few things but not every thing and every one. The essence of limitation and use of money highlighted positively.

Whom we love need not love us back- I know a women who saves money and brings gift for her children. Her children do not respect her and treat her like dirt. The reason is that she treats people like dirt. She does not mind using others and throwing them. She feels that she should be giving to only family members and others can be used. What u do to others god will do for you. Learn to respect people when they help you. Many people have priority like how they will get help from others with out understanding karmic principles. Help people who help people, be kind to people who are kind to you. Help your relatives but then check whether you are abusive to others in the name of priority.

Having money does not mean we have reached pinnacle in wisdom, knowledge and can control events in life.. Men can be made lose or gain money in time with few adjustments even with out their consent. Rich man have fear because they can lose all things in jiffy, without them making any mistake or fault. People can become successful with out knowing the real reason of why they have become successful. One dentist was amazed when I told her that she had changed the table and place of working before certain events happened. She was shocked because she never realized that such changes can have profound impact in her life.

Money can give purpose focus and meaning in life- this is one of the reason people chase money. But then one should realize some times we have fulfillment and happiness while following soul direction rather than personality direction. Soul direction need not bring money all the time.

Money has many levels –

Survival, fulfillment of family needs, ability to fulfill one own duty and responsibility, luxury, abundance, money for society and others are various levels for which money is made. The goal of serving self, then others, then family, then society, then the world and so forth. Like this expansion happens. So one can find enough time to stop making money. Some people have higher appetite than others. Saints can see advantage with basic necessity whereas even billions does not give fulfillment for some people.

So How Mukesh Ambani Tells

Recently, there have been several reports in the media on my personal wealth.

Frankly, I am amused by these reports.

Because I have never thought of myself in these terms. Nor have I worked in any way for these epithets.

The money you accumulate merely gives you an opportunity to make a difference.

But only if we make use of it to create wealth for the nation and to look for a social return.

I measure my success by the value that I create for my shareholders and the assets that we, as a company, create for the nation as a whole.

My wealth and your wealth are inevitably linked to our growth.

If Reliance grows and India prospers, it matters little to me whether my personal fortunes are measured in billions or millions.

True wealth lies in what you give to society and to the country, the real assets that you build, the institutions you nurture and the contribution you make to all-round prosperity.

And how you empower young people.

I am proud of the human capital I have helped build.

Those thousands of young people who have made Reliance what it is today.

And who are raring to take India and Reliance to greater heights.

Finally, I believe true wealth consists of what we create for you, dear Shareowners.

This is what I would continue to strive for, through Reliance.

This is what I have learnt from Dhirubhai Ambani.�
