Our real wealth is not money but desire. Once we come to realize this, we understand the importance of investing our desire-capital well. One of my responsibilities as a spiritual teacher is to play the part of a wise stockbroker. When I see someone investing heavily in short-term pleasures, I say, "Sell now!" Don't hold on to worthless certificates in the hope that they'll go up in value. Build yourself a solid portfolio, full of high-yielding investments. Buy all the shares you can in selfless living.
