These chakras,
when they move or give us impetus to do something,
we have already discussed muladhara chakra represents our earth element.
Because it represents the earth element
all the material prosperity we have
in the form of land, money, gold, diamond, houses, cars,
everything it is nothing but from the soil.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said:
(Sanskrit)
What you tell as material prosperity is nothing but dust to me.
When a person is talking like this, this prosperity is nothing but dust...
And it is true.
Today's big house, tomorrow it will be dust.
Today's big city, tomorrow collapsed, gone somewhere.
So in the same way
all prosperity, material world, material prosperity is in muladhara.
When our mind is after money, after material world our mind goes down.
If we follow the path of Lord Krishna
or path of divinity
even if we are in muladhara chakra like Sahadeva,
it will give us spiritual evolution.
But when we ignore divinity
we live like Duryodhana who is representing desire, kama, irresistible desire.
Kama or desire can never be fulfilled.
(Sanskrit)
This is unquenchable, extinguishable fire.
Kama.
How much money do you need?
If at any time God would appear in your front and tell:
My child tell me how much money do you need?
Just think.
If you tell one number or if you give a complete answer,
either you are crazy or highly spiritual.
Otherwise one can not give, because one will tell I will take some time to think.
Money is useful, I don't blame money.
Some yogis told that money is like the shoe.
The shoe should fit to your feet.
If it is over size, uncomfortable.
If it is under size uncomfortable.
But what is the size of the feet?
That means, how much do I need?
Rarely somebody knows.
Lahiri Mahasaya said: How much money do you need?
The more you earn the more there is need.
(Sanskrit)
The more you earn the more worries, more fear, more unhappiness, more anxiety.
If there is less need you are happy you are content.
Decrease your needs.
Minimum needs program.
Really our need is not too much.
