Making Money


In the Hindu religion, getting rich is considered an entirely appropriate human behaviour. In fact, some holy texts advise us to make as much money as we can with our two hands. And then to give it away with ten hands to those in need!


There's an important caveat here. Remember how in the list of goals of human life, dharma came first?This means that while we are free, and even encouraged, to make money, it must be done within the context of dharma. Our way of making a living must be ethical. Dharma not only means our duty in life, it also means righteousness Morality is the basic underpinning of society.
