How You Spend Your Salary? || Acharya Prashant

If you want to know why you kept working for the 30 days, if you want to know why you kept slogging the 30 days, the most effective way is to see what you are doing with the paycheck. What you are doing with the paycheck will very loudly demonstrate why you kept working the 30 days. See what you do with the fruits of your labor. What do you do with it? You uplift your consciousness. Your understanding deepens. Your field of love widens. You become a simpler individual.

What happens when you start earning? What changes? You go and buy better clothes. You go and get a car. You get a well- furnished apartment. Or you take a chunk of that money and give to your parents. We have consciousness that aspires for heights. It has a vague restlessness. It understands that merely satisfying the body cannot be the purpose of life. There has to be something higher.
