Money and Sustenance
The Bratzlaver said:?
1. Charity cools the heat of desire for riches.
2. Desire for money is like the worship of idols.
3. A man should believe that God does not require him to concentrate his entire mind on earning a livelihood. A little effort on the part of man who has faith that all sustenance is from God, suffices for him to attain his necessities.
4. Desire for money degrades a man from his true ethical plane.
