John Stuart Mill once said “People don’t want to be rich, they want to be richer than other people ”.
Being rich may be a trap because there is always someone or something which looks richer than you whether in terms of money or in other areas say power, popularity or simply admiration.
Striving for the riches without sufficient awareness creates more problems than solutions. This is because instead of having independence, you may become more paranoid and doubtful.
But there can be a place called “Abundance” which is a state of financial bliss. Unlike getting to riches, abundance is a state connected to your present. This is the state of your aware presence where you realise that you already have enough to lead a content life. This inner bliss leads to having an outer abundance very soon without your having to strife for that.
