If you have seen the movie The Matrix, you know how the artificial intelligence created by human beings takes over human beings. In the same way, a few idiots who wanted to exploit people gathered together and created the concept of holding, created the concept of money. Then unconsciously, every fellow started following it. Whoever rebelled against it were all killed and controlled in the name of law. All the rebels were destroyed in the name of law. I tell you, in the course of time, within two three generations, the whole world was drowned. They had forgotten that it was they who had created a superstition called money. Money is the worst illogical thing that all logical people on planet Earth believe in! The greatest superstition on the planet is not God; it is money. In the movie, if the artificial intelligence is Mind, the tub in which all humans are made to sleep in is money. Money is the greatest parama maya. Parama maya means collective delusion. All of us have put ourselves in collective delusion. The fellows who created the delusion thought they were out of this delusion, but after even three generations, everybody is in including the creator's kith and kin!

It is like the man who creates the system and thinks he is above this law. He thinks he will create the law in such a way that he is above it, while everybody is inside it. Suddenly, just two generations after he is gone, his kith and kin are caught in it! Same way, now the whole world is caught in an unconscious understanding, which they don't even know why they have. Currency is the worst parama maya created by human beings. Whatever you have is by chance.

I tell you, even if you are a Bill Gates, whatever you obtained is by chance. Why should somebody be called a millionaire, somebody a billionaire, somebody a beggar? No reason. The media mafia, instead of asking this question, are asking why you should be called as enlightened and we unenlightened! Instead, find the answer to why somebody is called a millionaire, why somebody is called a billionaire and why somebody is a called a beggar! This is the biggest superstition that the whole world is affected by. You accepting somebody as millionaire, somebody as billionaire, somebody as beggar, is affecting the whole world. That superstition is affecting billions. The world’s worst superstition is money. Instead of questioning that superstition, you go on questioning all other things.

When you are handling money, be very clear, ‘This is the language the world understands, but I am not going to believe it as a power. It can bring the cot I want, it can bring the food I want, but it cannot bring me what I really am. I am something more than all my wants. All my wants put together is not equivalent to me; it is only a part of me. I am something more than all my wants.’

It is NOT all about money, honey! It is not all about money. When you are gratified with whatever is obtained by chance, your inner space drops from the world’s biggest superstition.
