The anxiety for wealth
People are dying day and night to earn wealth. They worship God intensively for earning more and more wealth and there is no end to this. The anxiety for wealth can be compared to the anxiety of a person to come out of the water when he is being drowned in a lake by force. God has arranged for the basic needs of every soul; even for an atheist. Even the human government arranges for the basic needs of criminals in the prison. Then how can one doubt about the divine government like this? The desire for wealth is never satisfied and infact it grows more and more as wealth grows. The fire grows more and more as ghee [clarified butter] is poured in it .
