Real wealth is happy family & Peace
There is always a void in human's life. A man sitting in BMW imagines of attaining an innocent smile of that little beggar sitting on the street, who is relishing a thrown burger. Whereas, a beggar on the street dreams of attaining the fashionable livelihood of upper class. Void is a fact of life. Therefore, determining which is important, peace of mind or money ; it completely depends upon what you have. I would choose peace of mind. Although money is important but peace is about contentment. People often become greedy and run after money all life and never get satisfied. Greed keeps you on your toes all the time.
Money can buy many things, it's no wonder. but it can't buy love and peace. One can attain peace in life only when he cuts off his greed and be detached from useless relations and pride. At the end of the day so-rich Bill Gates and a poor beggar have to leave this earth. but leaving in peace of mind is most important. Every living being on this earth is born with three things. But the % of each may vary.
Mind. Intelligence and Ego. Cutoff the Ego. use intelligence to improve your mind. Every living creature is doing the same work. Still the man is doing the same old things in different ways. Eating. Sex. Sleeping and Defending self. But these alone cannot satisfy the human birth. One should know and always think of the purpose of life and search for it then one fine day the truth will be revealed. Because hungry alone can't feed food to stomach, searching for food and making it can make food reach your mouth. So as one should always enquire about his purpose of birth.
There exists three modes in nature. Goodness. Passion. Laziness. One's passion always should be to cutoff laziness and improve Goodness. Which will give chance to win in life. Simply to say, life existed in the past and exists in the future no need to someone answer this because think what made a person to born in.. Rich family/ poor family. Deceased. Handicapped. Because it's all about deeds.. here come Newton's third Law. Yes every action has its own reaction. It means your deeds will reflect you. So what I say is don't think of life leading in luxurious way lead it in a simple way. Help people, learn what is needed and teach to few others, plant trees, if possible become vegetarian.
Reason to be vegetarian- the purpose of animals on this earth is to maintain the earth balanced. And man's only duty is to lead his own life but without unbalancing Earth. Earth has one great nature that is self balancing nature if u can't make it, it can make itself and the result is famine, war, diseases ultimately Global-warming, Unhappy life.) Here comes two worlds that exist in the entire universe. Good & Bad / Truth & lie. Peace & Tranquility. Light & Dark. God & Evil. So ultimately one should be Good and speak Truth and work in Light and love God and attain Peace.

I am yet to come across a person who says he has peace of mind even though his family is starving. I am yet to come across a person who can fulfill his worldly obligations and his duty towards his family without money. Peace of mind is does not come from saying “I don’t want this, I don’t want that, This is not important, that is not important, this is more important than that…etc etc…). Peace of mind comes from a simple realisation that “I need no more”.
This statement “I need no more” is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. Saying “I need no more” does not mean not wanting something at all or resisting something. It only means that one is satisfied with only as much as what one needs to fulfill his worldly duties and obligations. Such a person is not greedy for more. However, he does need at least the minimum of everything (including money) that is required to live and fulfill his duties.
It is extremely important to understand that peace of mind never comes by running away from our responsibilities. It does not come by going away into the forest or on a mountain or in a cave when our family is starving. Money and peace of mind are equally important. We need money to live in the material world. We cannot do without it. Even to buy food for the poor, even to donate something you need money directly or indirectly.
The problem arises when people fail to create a balance between the two. This comparison between money and peace of mind arises when people fail to create a balance. Even the most wealthy people fail to create this balance. Then they start blaming money for their lack of peace of mind. It’s not the money. It’s simply their failure to create the balance. It’s their failure to realise “I need no more.” Moreover if you think you will earn a lot of money without being broke, frustrated, angry, depressed, cynical, demotivated and self depreciated. And you will never reach peaks of success without these things and if you think you will get everything with money that is wrong too. you need to have a balance, Also rather than asking which one to choose you must think how can i create balance between both. And life will be sorted. Cheers!

2yInsightful post, Kishore. If we look critically, we see many people being enslaved by money. Some of them are ready to abandon relationships, ethics, and morals for money. However there are people who ask themselves at some point in time --how much is enough to leave peacefully & happily? They would like to rationalize their wants but maintain the proper quality of life and say good buy to their profession. They refuse to get enslaved by money. They know that money is only the means to fulfill some needs and wants. It is not the be-all and end-all of life. They refuse to give importance to it beyond the point.
